■
Full/programmed scan
q
Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w
Select VFO mode with [VFO].
e
Make sure the squelch is set to the threshold point.
• Select automatic squelch (AT) or a level (SQ1–SQ8) where the
noise is muted. (p. 17)
r
Push [
(MAIN)
SCAN] for 2 sec. to start the programmed
scan.
• Decimal point flashes while scanning.
• “P1” – “P5” flash to indicate which pair of scan edges is being
scanned.
• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
• If the pocket beep function is activated, the transceiver automat-
ically selects the tone squelch function when a scan starts.
t
Push [1] – [5] to select the desired scan range or push [0]
to select full scan.
y

For programmed scan, scan edges must be programmed
in advance. Program scan edges in the same manner as
regular memory channels. (p. 22)
If the same frequencies are programmed into a pair of
scan edges, a programmed scan edge appears, such as
“P1,” but programmed scan does not proceed.

q
Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w
Select memory mode with [MR].
e
