Preferential Memory Scan
The VX-170 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 “
X
” icon
when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the blinking “
X
” icon
appended, only those channels bearing the blinking “u” icon will be scanned. If you ini-
tiate scanning on a channel which does not have the blinking “
X
” icon appended, you will
scan all channels including those with the blinking “
X
