How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
Some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station will seriously impede
scanner operation when using the “Carrier Drop” Scan Resume mode, as the incoming
signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels
may be “Skipped” during scanning, if desired:
1. Press and hold the
F
key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select Set Mode Item “
28 SKIP
”.
3. Press the
F
key to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4.
Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select a channel to skip,
and then press the
F
key.
The selected Memory Channel will be inversely
displayed by black.
5. Press the
PTT
switch to return to normal operation.
When the “skipped” memory channel
is manually recalled, the “
”
icon will appear below the memory
channel number, indicating it is to be
ignored during scanning.
