This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.
For example, you might with to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to 148.000
MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the band
below 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [
V/M
(
MW
)] key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store 144.300 MHz into Memory Channel #
L1

(the
“L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 146.000 MHz into Memory Channel #
U1

(the “U” designates the Upper
sub-band limit).
4. Press and hold in the [
SCAN
(
SEL
)] key for 1/2 sec-
ond, then rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired PMS
frequency pair (
PMSxx

).
5. Press the [
SCAN
(
SEL
)] key to start scanning within
the just-programmed range. The “

” label will be
replaced by “

”. Tuning and scanning will now be
limited within the just-programmed range.
