To limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory Scan-
ning (PMS) feature, which utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“P-1L/P-1U” through “P-9L/P-9U”). The PMS
feature is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license
class.
1.
Store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit fre-
quencies into the memory pair “P1L” and “P1U,” re-
spectively, or any other “L/U” pair of memories in the
special PMS memory area. See page 115 for details
regarding memory storage.
2.
Press the V/M key (#
) to enter the Memory mode.
3.
Press the MCH/GRP key (#
) momentarily.
When you press the MCH/GRP switch, the Red
LED imbedded within the switch should light up, in-
dicating that you are ready to choose a channel into
which to store the data.
Advice
H
If the Red LED imbedded in the MCH/GRP switch does
not light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp to the right
of the CLAR/VFO-B knob (#
) is not illuminated. It is,
press the A/B switch (#
) to make it go out, then press
the MCH/GRP key again.
4.
Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob to elect memory
channel “P1L” or “P1U.”
5.
Rotate the Main (VFO-A) receiver’s SQL control
(#
) so that the background noise is just silenced.
6.
Turn the Main Tuning Dial knob (#
) slightly (to
activate memory tuning). Tuning and scanning are now
limited to the range within the P1L/P1U limits until
you press the V/M key to return to memory chan-
nel or Main band (VFO-A) operation.
7.
Press and hold in the microphone’s UP or DOWN
key for 2 second to start scanning in the specified di-
rection.
H
If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the decimal point
between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency dis-
play will blink.
H
If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume in
about five seconds.
H
On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the scanner will
pause on a received signal, then will step across the signal
very slowly, giving you time to stop the scan, if you like. In
these modes on the VFO, the scanner does not stop, however.
H
If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the microphone's
UP or DOWN key will cause scanning to resume instantly.
H
If you rotate the Main Tuning Dial in the opposite directin
from the current scanning direction (in other words, you ro-
tate the dial to the left when scanning toward a higher fre-
quency), the direction of the scan will reverse.
If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scan-
ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT switch
during scanning will not cause transmission, however.
