Scanning
The
VX-110
allows you to scan just the memory channels, the 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:
5 SEC
: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for
5 seconds. 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.
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
Press the [
F
] key, then press the [
M/V
(
SET
)] key, to enter the Set mode.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select Menu #6 (“
RESUME
”).
Press the [
F
] key to enable changing of this Menu item.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the desired scan-resume mode.
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.”
VFO S
CANNING
This mode allows you to scan the entire current operating band.
Select the VFO mode by pressing the [
M/V
(
SET
)] key, if necessary.
Press and hold in the [
s
] or [
t
] key for 1/2 second to start scanning.
If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink
during this “Pause” condition.
The scanner will then resume according to the Scan Resume selected in the previous
section.
To cancel scanning, press the
PTT
, or [
M/V
(
SET
)] key.
If you want to change direction of the scan while it is underway, rotate the
DIAL
one
click in the opposite direction (in this case, one click counter-clockwise).
