FT-8800R Operating Manual
The
FT-8800R
allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or
a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on
that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin, take
a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it
halts on a signal.
Setting the Scan-Resume Technique
Two options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:
TIME
: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for
five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within five seconds, the
scanner will resume even if the stations are still active.
BUSY
: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. Two seconds after the
carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission, the scanner
will resume.
To set the Scan-Resume mode:
1. Press the [
SET
] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the “
Main
” band
DIAL

SCAN

DIAL

DIAL
