1) When you start scanning, the VX-2R will be changing frequency in the
upward direction. If you want to change direction of the scan while it is un-
derway, rotate the DIAL knob one click in the opposite direction (in this case,
one click counter-clockwise). You’ll see the scanner turn around and change frequency
downward!
2) You may change the scanner’s method of operation so that the VFO frequency will
jump to the low band edge of the next band when the VFO frequency reaches the high
edge of the current band (or vice versa). See page 72 regarding Set Mode Item 47: VFO
