3 Scan Options

The following scan options are available:

* Memory Scan

Scans through those memory channels that have data stored and that have not been locked out. This function operates only in the memory mode.

* Band Scan

Scan proceeds over the entire band. This function operates only in the VFO mode. (page 26)

nProgrammable Band Scan

The scan range for this mode is specified in memory. (page 26)

nMHz Scan

Scans over a 1 MHz range. (page 27)

nVFO / Memory Scan

Provides alternate scanning of the VFO and last used memory channel. (page 27)

nCALL/VFO Scan

Provides alternate scanning of the call channel and the VFO. (page 28)

nCALL / Memory Scan

Provides alternate scanning of the call channel and last used memory channel. (page 28)

nV/M/C(VFO/Memory/CALL) Scan

Scans the VFO, the last memory channel used, and the call channel. (page 28)

4 Scanning Memory Channels

The transceiver scans only those memory channels that have data entered and are not locked out. Scanning does not start unless two channels or more have data entered.

1Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.

2Press the MR key.

3Press and hold the MR key for longer than one second. The MHz indicator (decimal) flashes when the transceiver is scanning.
