FT-7100M Operating Manual
The Smart Search feature may be used to load - automatically with no operator intervention
- a special bank of up to 50 memory channels (per band) based on activity. Smart Search will
sweep either the entire band or the portion of the band within the Programmable Band-Scan
Limits, and will load the Smart Search memory bank with the frequency data pertaining to
those channels on which activity is found. The channels are loaded in the order in which
they are encountered, not according to signal strength or by ascending frequency.
The Smart Search feature is especially useful when visiting a city for the first time, where you
may be unfamiliar with the repeater frequencies used locally; Smart Search discovers where
the local activity is to be found, and automatically loads those frequencies for you.
Smart Search operation is simple to activate:
1. Press and hold in the [
TONE
] key for 1/2 second.
2. The Smart Search process will now cause the radio to scan upward on the current band,
loading channels on which it encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch.
3. When 50 channels are loaded or the scanner reaches the band edge, the scanner will stop
and the transceiver will revert to the starting frequency.
4. To recall the Smart Search Memories just stored, rotate the
Main Dial
knob.
5. Press the [
V/M
] key momentarily to exit the Smart Search mode.
Note that these memories are so-called “soft” memories; they will be lost if you exit Smart
Search to a VFO/Memory, or if you initiate a new Smart Search. Smart Search also does not
store CTCSS or DCS information; if you cannot access a repeater found during Smart Search,
you may need to investigate possible access tones.
