Programming Memory Channels 115
8.3 Limit Memories
Limit Memories are used by the radio for Programmed Scan. This feature allows you to
set sub-band limits for VFO scanning. Using Programmed Scan, the radio will scan
repeatedly between the frequencies entered as A and B of a set (i.e. 1, 2, etc.).
Note: You must enter a lesser value frequency into the lower
frequency than that of the higher frequency for Programmed Scan to
function properly.
For example, in North America, you might wish to set up a limit of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW, or "Weak Signal," portion of
the band below 144.300 MHz. You would enter 144.200 into 1A and 148.000 into 1B.
Then, using P1 scanning, your listening would be limited between the two frequencies.
In the Limit Memories channels, Step becomes very important since scanning will
increment the frequency by value in the Step field, beginning at the lower frequency. Set
your value carefully to be sure you do not miss frequencies that might be active in your
range.
