Scanning Features
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 mark a memory to be skipped during scanning, use the following procedure:
1. Recall the memory channel to be skipped. Note that Memory Channel 1 may
not
be skipped.
2. Press and hold in the
key for one second, then rotate the
M
AIN
D
IAL
knob to select “
3 1 S K I P
.”
3. Press the
key to select “
S K I P
.”
4. Press and hold in the
key for 1.5 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
To re-enable a “skipped” memory channel, select “
S T O P
” in step 3 above.
Temporary Memory Skip
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a channel due to temporary noise or interfer-
ence, you can temporarily mark it to be skipped (except the Memory Channel 1).
The channel will be skipped until you manually stop the scan (by pressing the
PTT
switch, for example).
To skip a channel temporarily, press the
key momentarily
while the scan-
ner has stopped on the channel to be skipped
. The scanner will instantaneously
resume, and that channel will not be scanned during this scanning session.
Programmable Band-Scan Limits
Besides band and memory scanning, this transceiver can be set to tune or scan
only the frequencies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example,
during 2-meter band scanning you may wish to limit tuning/scanning to 144.5 ~
148 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW sub-band between 144.0 and
144.5 MHz.
These limits are stored in special “Sub-Band Limit Memories” labeled
P M S - 1 L
,
P M S - 1 U
,
P M S - 2 L
, and
P M S - 2 U
, with “
L
” and “
U
” designations representing the
Lower and Upper limits, respectively.
To utilize this feature, use the following steps:
1. Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory “
P M S -
1 L
,” and the upper edge in memory “
P M S - 1 U
” (or, alternatively, in memories
“
P M S - 2 L
” and “
P M S - 2 U
”).
2. With any of these memories recalled, press the
M
AIN
D
IAL
knob momentarily to
