Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1.
Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
] key, if necessary.
2.
Press and hold in the [
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
] key for one second, and rotate the
DIAL
knob
while holding
in the [
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
] key to select the desired
Memory Scan mode. Available selections are ALL CH, TAG1, TAG2, BAND, and
PMS-X.
ALL CH
: The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.
TAG1
:
The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same “first” digit
of the alpha/numeric tag as the
first channel on which scanning started
.
TAG2
: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same “first” and
“second” digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the
first channel on which
scanning started
.
BAND
: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized on
the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.
PMS-X
: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS fre-
quency pair. See page 52 for details.
Note
: When an alpha-numeric “Tag” is appended to the Low sub-band limit
memory channel, the alpha-numeric “Tag” will appear while you are select-
ing the Memory Scan mode.
3.
Release the [
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
] key to initiate scanning.
4.
As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-
Resume mode set previously. When there are no memory chan-
nels corresponding to the selected Memory Scan mode, the “
MS
ERR
” notation will appear on the display.
5.
To cancel scanning, press the
PTT
switch or the [
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
] key.
How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a memory channel due to temporary noise or interfer-
ence, you can mark it to be skipped by pressing the [
F/W
] key, followed by the [
5
(
SKIP
)]
key while the scanner has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instan-
taneously resume, and that channel will not be scanned henceforth.
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-
tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-
Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to
resume scanning.
Here is the procedure for skipping certain memories during scanning:
1.
Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2.
Press the [
F/W
] key, then press the [
0
(
SET
)] key to enter the Set mode.
