SCAN OPERATION
■
Full/band/programmed scan
Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it
easier to locate new stations for listening purposes, etc.
q
Select VFO mode with [V/M].
w
Make sure the squelch is set to the threshold point.
• Select automatic squelch (AUTO) or a level (1–9) where the
noise is just muted. (p. 10)
e
Push and hold [
↔
], then rotate [DIAL] to select desired
scan edge.
• “ALL” for full scan, “BAND” for band scan or “PROG(RAM) 0” –
“PROG(RAM)24” for programmed scan. (see the next page)
r
Release [
↔
] to start the scan.
• Decimal point(s) flashes while scanning.
• “PSKIP” appears when the frequency skip function is turned ON.
(p. 19)
• “0P”–“24P” flash to indicate which pair of scan edges is being
scanned.
• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
• If the pocket beep function is activated, the receiver automatically
selects the tone squelch function when a scan starts.
t
To stop the scan, push [
↔
] again.
If the same frequencies are programmed into a pair of
scan edges, programmed scan does not start.
For programmed scan, scan edges must be programmed
in advance. Program scan edges in the same manner of
programming a memory channel (p. 14) and select a scan
edge. (p. 21)
A tone scan function is available to search for subaudible
tones (e.g. when you want to find a subaudible tone fre-
quency necessary to open a repeater or to open the tone
squelch). See p. 30 for details.
