3. Release the [

] key to start scanning.
4. When the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner
will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink during this
“Pause” condition.
5. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
6. To cancel scanning, press the
PTT
switch or [
V/M
] key.
1) When you start scanning, the VX-3R 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 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 121 regarding Set Mode Item 90: VFO MD.
