6. SCANNING FUNCTIONS
6.1 Channel scanning
KV-300 can automatically search for signals throughout the marine band by
scanning, or selecting the channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is detected,
the scanning pauses on that channel (
RX displayed) and remains blocked until
the signal ends. Before the scanning automatically starts ag ain, KV-300 waits
for a 3,4 seconds in case the user wants to transmit.
You can transmit in any moment, even if the scanning is active. In this case,
the transmission will be done on the channel currently scanned; but if you
transmit just after a signal is detected, the radio will transmit on that channel.
After the transmission, the scanning is interrupted.
If the scanning detects an undesired channel, you can start scanning again by
pushing
STEP/SCAN.
To activate the Scan function:
To activate the Mem Scan function:
Reception: if KV-300 detects a signal, the scanning interrupts and the display
indicates RX .
Transmission: you can transmit in any moment,even if the scanning is active.
In this case, KV-300 will t ransmit from the channel being scanned in that
moment; but if t he t ransmission is done after a channel is picked up, t he
device will transmit from that channel within 3 / 4 seconds. After the transmi-
ssion, the scanning interrupts.
Hold down the STEP/SCAN button till scan on the display;
Press MENU/SELECT to confirm your selection. The scanning will start.
Pressed STEP/SCAN till MEM appears on the display;
MEM scanning will start.( Now the scanning of the stored channels starts.)
To stop it, push
STEP/SCAN and the radio will stop on the channel scanned in
that moment.
To stop the SCAN, then press the STEP/SCAN button.
The scanning and the memory scanning cannot properly work if the squelch is
not adjusted as previously described.
