Scanning
Press and hold in either the [
(
MHz
)] or [
(
MHz
)] key
for one second to initiate upward or downward scanning,
respectively (Manual VFO Scan).
For scanning within a limited sub-band range, from the VFO
mode, press and hold in the [
V/M
(
PRI
)] key for one second
to begin scanning toward a higher frequency within the pre-
viously-defined sub-band (Programmed VFO Scan). Details
regarding sub-band setup may be found on page 36.
If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a
lower frequency, instead of a higher frequency), just rotate
the
DIAL
one click in the counter-clockwise direction
while
the FT-60R is scanning
. The scanning direction will be re-
versed. To revert to scanning toward a higher frequency once
more, rotate the
DIAL
one click clockwise.
The scanner will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the Squelch
threshold. The
FT-60R
will then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the
“RESUME” mode (Set Mode Item 35:
RESUME
). Press the
PTT
switch momentarily to
cancel the scanning. This only stops the scan; it does not cause transmission to occur. See
page 35 for details regarding Scan Operation.
