Setting Memory Scan Table
The VHF 4000 system has eight independent sets of memory tables
to save channels for making scanning sessions. Each memory table
may contain all channels available in the system.
To distinguish between the tables, each table has a number (0-7)
and to each number can be attached a name of maximum seven
characters.
To attach a name to a scan table, enter the function menu.
The scan table number
selected is shown in the
left corner of the handset display.
Pre-programmed memory tables for scanning of channels:
Table 6: Channels for intership communication.
Table 7: All channels in system.
It is recommended not to alter the pre-programmed channels in
scanning tables 6 and 7. These scanning tables are used to search

channels may exclude you from performing intership communication
on certain channels.
