The
FTA-850L
allow you to scan active channels
automatically in the COMM (COM & NAV band),
and MEMORY CH modes. It pauses on signals en-
countered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that
frequency if you like.
Scanning Channels
1. Set the radio to the COMM mode.
2. Press the [
FUNC
] key to display the COMM Func
menu screen.
3. Select “
Scan
” on the screen
by pressing the [
▲
] or [

key, and then press the
[
ENT
] key.
The same operation as
above is possible by press-
ing the [
2
] key.
The scanning starts and the display returns to the
COMM mode screen.
The scanner searches signals from the lower fre-
quency to higher. If the DIAL knob is rotated while
scanning is in progress, the scanning will continue
up or down in frequency according to the direction
of the DIAL knob rotation.
When the scanner encounters a signal, the scan-
ning pauses and the frequency indication on the
display blinks, and the radio remains on that chan-
nel until the signal disappears.
If the transceiver is turned OFF while scanning, when
the transceiver is turned ON, scanning will resume.
To stop the scanning, press
the
PTT
switch, or select
“
SCAN
” again in the COMM
Func menu.
Next time the scanning is activated, the search will
start from the frequency at which the scanning was
stopped last time.

When you enable the alarm function at reception of
the weather alert signal via the COMM Setup menu
in the SETUP mode, the last weather channel will be
