Preferential Memory Scan
The
FT-2980R/E
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 appended,
you will scan all channels including those with the Blinking “ SKIP ” icon appended.
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 repeated-
ly, 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 “
47 SKIP
”.
4. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key, then rotate the
DIAL knob so
as to select “
ONLY
”.
5. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
To initiate Preferential Memory Scanning:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [ D/MR

which has a blinking “ SKIP ” icon appended to the chan-
nel number.
3. Press and hold in either the microphone’s [ UP
] or [
DWN

button for one second to initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only the channels
which have a blinking “ SKIP ” icon appended to the channel number will be scanned.
