“Priority Channel” Scanning
The
FT-25R/E
scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows
operation on a VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a user-defined
Memory Channel for activity. If a signal is received on the Memory Channel which is
strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that channel in accordance
with the Scan-Resume mode set via Set Mode Item “
25 RESUME
”.
For more details on the Scan-Resume mode, see page 37.
