also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you can
“flag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “ ” icon
when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, the scan begins on a channel with the blinking “ ”
icon appended; only those channels bearing the blinking “ ” icon will be scanned. If you
initiate scanning on a channel that does not have the blinking “ ” icon appended, you will
scan all channels including those with the blinking “ ” icon appended.
Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1.
Recall the Memory Channel, which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List.
2. Press and hold in the [ BANK
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.

knob.
4. Press the [ BANK
] key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “ ONLY .”
6. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the
[
BANK
] key for one second to save the settings and exit to nor-
mal operation.
To initiate Preferential Memory Scan:
1.
Press the [ V/M
] key momentarily to enter the Memory Recall mode, if you are not
using memories already.
2. Rotate the DIAL to select any channel which has a blinking “ ”
icon appended to the channel number.
Note : Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Press and hold in the SCAN switch for one second until Memory
Scan mode appears on the display. Then rotate the DIAL knob to
select the desired Memory Scan mode.
