The
VX-2R
allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or a
portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on
that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin,
take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning
after it halts on a signal.
Setting the Scan-Resume Technique
Five options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:
3 SEC
/
5 SEC
/
10 SEC
: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and
will hold there for the selected resume time. If you do not take
action to disable the scanner within that time period, the scanner
will resume even if the stations are still active.
BUSY
:
In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. Two
seconds after the carrier has dropped because the other station(s)
ceased transmission, the scanner will resume. In the case of con-
stant-carrier signals like Weather Station broadcasts, the scanner
will likely remain on this frequency indefinitely.
HOLD
:
In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will
not restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning
if you wish to resume.
To set the Scan-Resume mode:
1.
Press and hold in the [
F/W
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 31:
RESUME
.
3.
Press the [
H/L
] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired scan-resume mode.
5.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
key to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
R.F. Says: The default condition for this Set Mode Item is “5 SEC.”
Setting the Squelch Level during active Scanning operation
The
VX-2R
allows adjustment of the Squelch level “on the fly” while you are scanning.
1.
While the scanner is engaged, press the [
F/W
] key, then press the
MONI
key (the
current squelch level will appear below the frequency display).
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the desired Squelch level.
3.
Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion. In this case, pressing the
PTT
switch this one time will not causing scanning to
stop.
