The
VX-7R
allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or a
portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on
that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin,
take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning
after it halts on a signal.
Setting the Scan-Resume Technique
Three options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:
3 SEC
/
5 SEC
/
10 SEC
: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and
will hold there for the selected resume time. If you do not take
action to disable the scanner within that time period, the scanner
will resume even if the stations are still active.
BUSY
:
In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. Two
seconds after the carrier has dropped because the other station(s)
ceased transmission, the scanner will resume. In the case of con-
stant-carrier signals like Weather Station broadcasts, the scanner
will likely remain on this frequency indefinitely.
HOLD
:
In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will
not restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning
if you wish to resume.
To set the Scan-Resume mode:
1.
Press the
key, then press the
key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the Menu Item labeled (
Scan Modes #3: RESUME
).
3.
Press the
or
key to select the desired scan-re-
sume mode.
4.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
key
to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
The default condition for this Menu Item is “5 SEC.”
Setting the Squelch Level during active Scanning operation
The
VX-7R
allows adjustment of the Squelch level “on the fly” while you are scanning.
1.
While the scanner is engaged, press the
key, then press the
key (the current
squelch level will appear below the frequency display).
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the desired Squelch level.
3.
Press the
PTT
switch momentarily to save the new setting
and exit to normal operation. In this case, pressing the
PTT
switch this one time will not causing scanning to stop.
