1) When you start the Programmed VFO Scanner, the FT-60R will be chang-
ing frequency in the upward direction. If you want to change direction of the
scan while it is underway, rotate the DIAL knob one click in the opposite
direction (in this case, one click counter-clockwise). You’ll see the scanner turn around
and change frequency downward!
2) You may change the scanner’s method of operation so that the VFO frequency will
jump to the low band edge of the
next
band when the VFO frequency reaches the high
edge of the
current
band (or vice versa). See page 78 regarding Set Mode Item 54: VFO
