PERATION
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-
tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-
Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to
resume scanning. Such channels may be “Skipped” during scanning, if you like:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press and hold the [
BANK
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 34: MR SKIP .
Note : Do not forget to pull the
DIAL
knob to rotate the
DIAL
knob.
4. Press the [
BANK
] key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
5. Rotate the
DIAL
knob so as to select “ SKIP .” The current Memory
Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The “ ONLY ” se-
lection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan,” described in the
next column.
6. When you have made your selection, press and hold the [
BANK
] key for one second
to save the setting and exit to normal operation.
When you recall the “skipped” memory channel manually, a small
“
” icon will appear at the right of the “ ” icon, indicating it is
to be ignored during scanning.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “
OFF
” in step 5 above (the “Skipped”
channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the
DIAL knob in the “MR” (Memory Recall) mode, whether or not it is locked out of the
scanning loop).
One Touch Memory Skip
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a channel due to temporary noise or interference while
Memory Channel Scan is activated, it is a simple operation to mark it to be skipped (except
for Memory Channel “1”).
To skip a channel temporarily, press the [ F/W
] key, and then press the [
V/M
] key while the
scanner has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will immediately resume,
and that channel will be assigned to the “skipped” memory channel.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, perform the “How to Skip (Omit) a Chan-
nel during Memory Scan Operation” described previously, then select “
OFF ” in step 5.
