This feature a more refined and useful form of VFO scanning, allows you to establish sub-
band limits for scanning. This allows you to monitor only a portion of the wide frequency
range of the
VR-5000
, instead of sweeping the entire spectrum from 100 kHz to 2.6 GHz.
Programmable Memory Scan utilizes a pair of special memories to establish the upper and
lower scanning limits. Here is the procedure for setting up limited band scanning:
Programming
1. Press the [
F
] key momentarily, then press the [
PMS
(
PMS SET
)
] key to enable the
storage of the frequency pair into a PMS memory.
2. The cursor will be pointing at the “
PMS CH
” menu option; press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
3. If you want to program the frequency pair into the currently-selected PMS register
(shown on the right edge of the display), proceed to the next step; if you wish to choose
a different PMS register, press [
ENT
(
SET
)
], then use the [
(
)/
(
)] keys to select
a different memory register number. Then press [
ENT
(
SET
)
] to move on to the next
step.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set the cursor to the “
PMS TAG
” menu option.
5. Press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key to enable the programming of the name tag to the PMS
memory. To attach an alpha/numeric name tag to the PMS memory, program the alpha-
numeric “label” using the
DIAL
knob and keypad, as described previously; if you don’t
want to label this frequency pair register, press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key again.
6. When you have complete the creation of the label, press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
7. Now it’s time to set up the band limits. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set the cursor to the
“
START F
” menu option, then press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
8. Set the VFO frequency to the Lower sub-band limit, then press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
9. Confirm that the cursor is on the “
END F
” menu, then press the [
ENT
] key.
10. Select the VFO frequency to the Upper sub-band limit, then press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
11. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set the cursor to the “
END
” menu option, then press the
[
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
12. Confirm that the cursor is on the “
WRITE
” menu option, press the [
ENT
(
SET
)
] key.
13. The PMS memory programming process is now completed.
Note:
50 PMS memories are available. You therefore can set upper and lower operation
limits on a number of bands, if you like.
Operation (Current PMS Register)
1. Press the [
PMS
(
PMS SET
)
] key to initiate PMS scanning in an upward direction.
2. If the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner will
halt and pause on that frequency. Scanning will resume according to the protocol you
selected in the previous discussion.
