Note
: When scanning upward in frequency, when the fre-
quency reaches the COM Band (118.000 ~ 136.975 MHz)
via manual scanning, the
VXA-300
will switch to the au-
tomatic scanner mode.
Channel-Skip Scanning
Continuous-carrier stations like ATIS (Automatic Termi-
nal Information Service) or Weather Broadcast stations
inhibit scanner operation. Since these stations are always
active, the scanner will be halted repeatedly on their chan-
nels. Such channels can be set to be “skipped” during
Memory scanning (MR, Book or WX modes), if you like,
so as not to interfere with automatic channel scanning:
Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scan-
ning.
Press the [
F
] key mo-
mentarily, then press the
[
9
(
SKIP
)].
The “
” icon will
appear at the upper right
of the channel number,
indicating that the chan-
nel is to be ignored during
scanning.
You can also designate a chan-
nel to be skipped while scan-
ning. When the receiver is halted on a channel that
you wish to skip, press and hold the [
SCAN
(
DW
)]
key for 2 seconds (the “
” icon will appear next
to the channel to be skipped).
Later, to re-enable the memory channel for scanning,
repeat the first two steps. The “
” icon will dis-
appear by the channel you have just re-enabled.
Note
: A memory set to be “skipped” is still accessible for
manual memory selection using the
DIAL
selector knob.
