Scanning
FT-25R/FT-25E Advance Manual
Programmable (Band Limit) Memory Scan (PMS)
This feature allows setting sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.
For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the
band below 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:
1. Set the transceiver to the VFO mode, if necessary.
2. Set 144.300 MHz into Memory Channel L01 (the “L” designates the Lower sub-band
limit).
3. Likewise, set 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel U01 (the “U” designates the Upper
sub-band limit).
4. Press and hold the [
#VFO
] key.
5.
Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select the “
PMS-1
”
PMS-(number) will change depending on the currently-selected PMS
frequency pair.
6. Press the
PTT
switch to return to normal operation.
For more details on programmed mode (VFO) scan, refer to the
FT-
25R/E
Operating Manual.
7. Confirm the transceiver is in the VFO mode, press
the [
#VFO
] key after pressing the
F
key.
The
icon will appear on the LCD display and
the scanning starts just within the programmed
range.
10 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L01/U01 through L10/U10
are available. Therefore upper and lower operating limits may be set
for multiple segments on a number of bands, if you like.
