SCAN OPERATION
■
Programmed scan
Programmed scan repeatedly scans between two user-pro-
grammed frequencies (memory channels “1A–3A” and “1b–3b”) or
scans between upper and lower band edges. This scan is useful
for checking for signals within a specific frequency range such as
repeater output frequencies, etc.
q
Push [D•
CLR
] to select VFO mode, if necessary.
w
Push [5•
SCAN
] after pushing [A•
FUNC
] to start the scan, then a
selected scan edge appears as “P1”, “P2”, “P3” or “AL.”
• To change scan edge, push [8•
SET
] after pushing [A•
FUNC
] several
times until desired scan edge is appeared.
• “AL” for full scan, “P1”, “P2” and “P3” for programmed scan be-
tween the programmed scan edge channels as “1A”–“1b”,
“2A”–“2b” and “3A”–“3b”.
• To change the scan direction, push [
Y
] or [
Z
].
• When “dial” is assigned [VOL], rotate [VOL] to change the scan di-
rection. (p. 51)
e
Push [D•
CLR
] to stop the scan.
NOTE: Scan edges, 1A–3A/1b–3b, must be programmed in ad-
vance.
(Program them in the same manner as regular memory
channels. (p. 25))
If the same frequencies are programmed into the scan edges,
programmed scan will not proceed.
■
Memory (skip) scan
Memory scan repeatedly scans all programmed memory chan-
nels, except those set as skip channels.
q
Push [C•
MR
] to select memory mode, if necessary.
• “
X
” appears.
w
Push [5•
SCAN
] after pushing [A•
FUNC
] to start the scan.
• To change the scan direction, push [
Y
] or [
Z
].
• When “dial” is assigned [VOL], rotate [VOL] to change the scan di-
rection. (p. 51)
e
Push [D•
CLR
] to stop the scan.
D
Setting skip channels
In order to speed up the scan interval, you can set memory
channels you don’t wish to scan as skip channels.
q
Push [C•
MR
] to select memory mode, if necessary.
• “
X
” appears.
w
Select a memory channel to set as a skip channel.
e
Push [6•
SKIP
] after pushing [A•
FUNC
] to toggle the skip setting
ON and OFF.
• “SKIP” appears when the channels is set as a skip channel.
