Temporary Memory Skip
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a channel due to temporary noise or interference, you
can temporarily mark it to be skipped (except for Memory Channel “1”). The channel will
be skipped until you manually stop the scan (by pressing the
PTT
switch, for example).
To skip a channel temporarily, press the
key, then press the
key while the scanner
has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instantaneously resume, and
that channel will not be scanned during this scanning session.
How to Skip (Omit) a Channel During Memory Scan Operation
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. Such channels may be “Skipped” during scanning, if you like:
1.
Set the radio to the Memory Mode by pressing the
key, if necessary..
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
3.
Press the
key, then press the
key to enter the Set mode.
4.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the Menu Item labeled (
Basic
Setup #13: MEMO SCAN MODE
).
5.
Press the
or
key so as to select “
SKIP
.” The cur--
rent Memory Channel will now be ignored during scan-
ning. The “
PREFERENTIAL
” selection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan,” de-
scribed in the next column.
6.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
key to save the settings and exit to
normal operation.
A small “
t
” icon will appear when you recall the “skipped”
memory channel manually.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “
OFF
”
in step 5 above (the “Skipped” channel will, of course, still be
accessible via manual channel selection methods using the
DIAL
in the MR mode, whether
or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
