1. To change the operating band (channel set) of the transceiver, hold down
the 16/9 key and press the DW key. The band will change from USA, to
International, and to Canadian with each press.

5.6 SCAN
This transceiver provides a special “Scanning Memory Bank” which allows
you to designate certain channels for inclusion in a “loop” which will be
scanned at high speed. If an incoming signal is detected on one of the chan-
nels in the scanning loop, the radio will pause on that channel, allowing you
to listen to the incoming transmission.
1. Select the desired channel to be included in the scanning loop using the
[ ] or [ ] key.
2. Press the MEM key to store the channel into the
transceiver’s scanning memory. “ MEM ” will be dis-
played on the LCD.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the channels to be scanned.
4. To delete a channel from the transceiver’s scan memory, press the
MEM
key again while the memorized channel is displayed. “ MEM ” will disap-
pear from the display.
5. All channels programmed remain in the transceiver’s scan memory even
if the power is turned off. See section 5.19: “RESETTING THE
TRANSCEIVER’S MICROPROCESSOR” to clear all channels from the
transceiver’s scan memory.
6. Press the SQL key, then press the [
] or [ ] key until background noise
is eliminated.
7. To start scanning, press the SCAN key. The scan proceeds from the
lowest to the highest programmed channel number and stops on chan-
nels when a transmission is received. Scanning will resume when the
squelch closes after the incoming signal disappears at the end of the
transmission.
8. To stop the scan, press the SCAN , 16/9 , or DW key.
