Scan-Resume Options
Three scan-resume modes are available on the
FT-2980R/E
:

In the “
BUSY
” mode, the scanner will remain halted for as long as there is carrier
present on the channel; after the carrier drops at the end of the other station’s trans-
mission, scanning will resume.

In the “
HOLD
” mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not restart
automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume.

In the “
3SEC
/
5SEC
/
10SEC
” mode, the scanner will halt for the selected resume time,
after which scanning will resume (whether or not the other station is still transmitting).
The default scan-stop mode is “
BUSY
”. To change the scan-resume mode, use the
following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select “
41 RESUME
”.
2. Press the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key, then rotate the
DIAL
knob to
select the desired scan-resume mode.
3. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
Memory Skip Scanning
When you have some continuously-active channels in memories, you may wish to skip
them for scanning , but still have them available for manual selection .
To mask a memory to be skipped (only) during scanning, use the following procedure:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [ D/MR
(
MW
)] key repeatedly,
as necessary, until “ MR ” and a channel number appear on the right side of the display.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to
be skipped during scanning.
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select “
47 SKIP
”.
4. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key, then rotate the
DIAL knob
so as to select “
SKIP
”. The current Memory Channel will
now be ignored during scanning. The “
ONLY
” selection
is used for “Preferential Memory Scan”, described in the
next section.
5. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
A “
SKIP
” icon will appear when you recall the “skipped”
memory channel manually.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “
OFF
”
in step 4 above, after first recalling the currently-blocked
channel (the “Skipped” channel is accessible via manual channel selection methods using
the DIAL knob in the Memory mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
