key may be used as
a toggle between OFF and the new setting.

indicates that the current audio will open the squelch, use
the
SUB DIAL
to increase the value until the “*” legend
disappears, you can then be sure that the scan voice
setting will ignore and skip over the current frequency.
While in memory recall or scan mode, the LCD legend
“VCS” for voice squelch is displayed toward the top right
hand side of the LCD to indicate that voice squelch is in
operation.
To accept the changes to scan VOICE SQUELCH press
to return to normal display (SCAN, SEARCH or
VFO mode). Alternatively you may move to the next option
(MODE SCAN) by pressing the
key.
9-5 SCAN - MODE (receive mode AM,
FM etc)
The scan MODE parameter determines whether ALL
specified memory channels will be scanned or only those
of a certain receive mode.
This can be very useful if for example you have a mixture
of VHF AM civil airband frequencies in a memory bank
along with VHF NFM marine. Rather than having to scan
ALL channels or PASS (lock out) certain channels, a
SPECIFIC receive mode ONLY can be quickly selected
and scanned.
The options are:

Alternatively you may move to previous options using the

Note: If no channels have been programmed into memory
using the selected receive mode the receiver will not be
able to scan, use this facility carefully and thoughtfully. If
the receiver is unable to scan (and the bleep tone is
enabled) the error tone will be sounded when scan is
selected.
(10) SELECT SCAN - special select scan
list overview
While scanning memory banks, you may decide that some
memory channels are MORE INTERESTING than others
and become frustrated at having to manually force the
SCAN passed uninteresting, but active channels. Of
course it is possible to PASS (lockout) these uninteresting
channels but you will need to reinstate them at a later
time.
A better method is to use SELECT SCAN which is made
up of a specially selected list of tagged memory channels
which may be scanned as a group. This is a very useful
facility which allows rapid selection of memory channels
from any memory bank regardless of frequency, mode or
pass status.
Up to 100 memory channels may be tagged for
SELECT SCAN and drawn from any of the ten memory
banks.
The great advantage is that the contents of the
SELECT SCAN list may be deleted in one simple
sequence making the list blank and ready for use over
and over again.
10-1 Tagging scan select channels
There are two ways in which memory channels may be
tagged for SELECT SCAN.
1. SELECT SCAN channels may be tagged while in
SCAN MODE and stopped on an active channel by
pressing
. The legend “
S
S
S
S
S
” is added before
the memory bank number to show that the channel has
been added to the select scan list.
2. SELECT SCAN channels may be tagged while in
MEMORY RECALL MODE by first selecting the desired
memory channel then press
. The legend
“
S
S
S
S
S
” is added before the memory bank number to show
that the channel has been added to the select scan list.
