While using the Memory (“
MR
”) mode, press the
[3(SCH/SCN)]
key while pressing the
[FUNC]
key to initiate Memory Channel
Scanning. As with VFO Search, the scanner will halt on any sig-
nal encountered that is strong enough to open the squelch; it will
then resume scanning according to the setting of the “RESUME” mode, described previ-
ously.
While Memory scanning, you can initiate Memory Bank Scanning, whereby only the chan-
nels in one of the ten Memory Banks will be scanned. To do this, start Memory Scanning
per the above procedure, then press one of the numbered keys (e.g. press
[3]
to scan in
Memory Bank 3 — channels 300 ~ 399).
Preferential Memory Scan (PMS)
This radio 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 “
P
” icon when you
have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
Here is the procedure for setting up the Preferential Scan List:
•
Press the
[1(MEMO)]
key while pressing the
[FUNC]
key to enter the Memory mode,
if you are not using memories already.
‚
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the channel which you wish to add to the Preferential
Scan List.
ƒ
Press the
[5(S.SCH/PMS)]
key while pressing the
[FUNC]
key. The “
P
” icon will appear at the top of the display, indi-
cating that the channel is now in the Preferential Scan List.
„
To remove a channel from the Preferential Scan List, repeat
the above procedure: rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the channel which you wish to
delete from the Preferential Scan List, then press the
[5(S.SCH/PMS)]
key while
pressing the
[FUNC]
key (the “
P
” icon will disappear).
To initiate Preferential Memory Scan:
•
Press the
[3(SCH/SCN)]
key while pressing the
[FUNC]
key to begin Memory Chan-
nel Scanning.
‚
Once you have engaged Memory Channel Scanning, press
the
[5(S.SCH/PMS)]
key while pressing the
[FUNC]
key to
initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only the channels
which have a “
P
” icon appended to the channel number will
now be scanned.
ƒ
To return to normal Memory Channel Scanning, just press the
[5(S.SCH/PMS)]
key
while pressing the
[FUNC]
key (the scanner will again scan all memory channels).
