Besides band and memory scanning, this radio can be set to tune or scan only the frequen-
cies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example, you may wish to limit
tuning/scanning to 144.5 ~ 148 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW sub-band
between 144.0 and 144.5 MHz.
These scanning limits are stored in special “Sub-Band Limit Memories,” labeled
PMS-
1L
,
PMS-1U
,
PMS-2L
, and
PMS-2U
, with “
L
” and “
U
” designations representing the
L
ower
and
U
pper limits, respectively.
To utilize this feature, use the following steps:
(1) Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory “
PMS-1L
,” and
the upper edge in memory “
PMS-1U
” (or, alternatively, in memories “
PMS-2L
” and
“
PMS-2U
”).
(2) With any of these memories recalled, press the [
MHz
] key momentarily to activate the
Programmable Band-Scan Limits.
The
“
P
” notation will appear at the right side of the
display, reminding you that you are using the Programmable Band Limits.
The frequencies stored in memories “
L
” and “
U
” will now serve as tuning and scanning
limits, thus creating a tuning sub-band.
To cancel the sub-band limits and return to normal memory operation, press the [
D/MR
]
key momentarily.
Note: If the frequency in memory channel
“
PMS-
x
L
”
is equal to or greater than the fre-
quency stored in memory channel
“
PMS-
x
U
,”
you can not activate the PMS operation.
