WiNRADiO G305 VHF/UHF Receiver

When the range definition is done, close this window, then close the scanner
settings. Then activate the
Range
button in the
Scanning
control panel:
Scanning Control Panel
When you press the
Scan Forward
button
[>>]
, the scanner will commence
scanning from the start frequency of the first range. When the last frequency of
the first range is reached, it will then continue onto the next range, etc. When it
reaches the end of the last range, it will go back to the start of the first range
and continue looping infinitely until a signal is found, or until manually stopped
or paused. If you use the
Scan Backward
button
[<<]
, the process will be
exactly reversed (i.e. starting from the top frequency of the last range and
working its way downwards).
You can stop or pause this activity using the
Stop
or
Pause
buttons. If you use
the
Pause
button, then restarting scanning using
Scan Forward
or
Scan
Backward
buttons will resume the action from the paused frequency. If you
stop scanning with the
Stop
button, then using the
Scan Forward
or
Scan
Backward
buttons will recommence scanning from the initial (or the last)
frequency again. If no ranges are specified in the Ranges list, then activating
scanning in the Range mode will result in no action.
An additional useful feature of frequency range scanning is that all found
frequencies can be automatically stored in memory, even if the receiver is left
unattended. To do this, enable the
Auto Store
checkbox in the Scan ranges
set-up window, and specify the memory range to which the frequencies should
be written. You can also specify a special Group Number to be assigned to
such frequencies.
When using the
Auto Store
option, you should also set the appropriate
conditions for scanning when the signal is found (for example, pause when
signal found, and resume after the minimum delay time will provide the fastest
scanning and writing into memory).
Note that if more signals are found than there are allocated memories, the
excess frequencies will not be stored.
