The FT-2900R also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you
can “flag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “ SKIP ”
icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the Blinking “ SKIP ”
icon appended , only those channels bearing the Blinking “ SKIP ” icon will be scanned. If
you initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the Blinking “ SKIP ” icon ap-
pended, you will scan all channels including those with the Blinking “ SKIP ” icon ap-
pended.
Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [
D/MR
(
MW
)] key repeatedly,
if necessary.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the
Preferential Scan List.
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second, then
rotate the DIAL knob to select “

4. Press the [ MHz

DIAL knob so
as to select “

5. Press and hold in the [

ber.
