ANUAL
To limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory Scan-
ning (PMS) feature, which utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“
P-1L P-1L
P-1L P-1L P-1L
/
P-1U P-1U
P-1U P-1U P-1U
” through “
P-9L P-9L
P-9L P-9L P-9L
/
P-9U P-9U
P-9U P-9U P-9U
”). The PMS
feature is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license
class.
1. Store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit fre-
quencies into the memory pair “
P-1L P-1L
P-1L P-1L P-1L
” and “
P-1U P-1U
P-1U P-1U P-1U
,” re-
spectively, or any other “L/U” pair of memories in the
special PMS memory area. See page 100 for details
regarding memory storage.
2. Press the [ V/M
] button to enter the Memory mode.
3. Press the [ M CH
] button momentarily.
When you press the [ M CH
] button, the Red LED im-
bedded within the switch should light up, indicating
that you are ready to choose a channel into which to
store the data.
A
DVICE
:
If the Red LED imbedded in the [ M CH
] button does
not light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp to
the right of the [
SUB VFO-B
] knob is not illuminated.
If it is, press the [ A/B
] button to make it go out, then
press the [ M CH
] button again.
4. Rotate the [ SUB VFO-B
] knob to select memory chan-
nel “
P-1L P-1L P-1L P-1L P-1L
” or “
P-1U P-1U P-1U P-1U P-1U
.”
5. Rotate the Main [ SQL
] knob so that the background
noise is just silenced.
6. Turn the Main Tuning Dial knob slightly (to activate
memory tuning). Tuning and scanning are now limited
to the range within the
P-1L P-1L P-1L P-1L P-1L
/
P-1U P-1U P-1U P-1U P-1U
limits until you press
the [ V/M
] button to return to memory channel or Main
band (VFO-A) operation.
7. Press and hold in the microphone’s [
UP
] or [
DWN
]
key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified
direction.
A
DVICE
:
ˆ If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the deci-
mal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of
the frequency display will blink.
ˆ If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will re-
sume in about five seconds.
ˆ
On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the
scanner will pause on a received signal, then will
step across the signal very slowly, giving you time
to stop the scan, if you like. In these modes on the
VFO, the scanner does not stop, however.
ˆ If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the
microphone’s [
UP
] or [
DWN
] key will cause scan-
ning to resume instantly.
8. If you rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob in the oppo-
site direction from the current scanning direction (in
other words, you rotate the dial to the left when scan-
ning toward a higher frequency), the direction of the
scan will reverse.
9. If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scan-
ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT
switch during scanning will not cause transmission,
however.
