2Press the F key, then the 0/L.OUT key.

A * indicator appears below the memory channel number on the display, indicating that channel will be skipped in the memory channel scan mode.

Scanning begins toward the higher frequencies. The MHz indicator (decimal) flashes when the transceiver is scanning.

5 Scanning pauses on a station strong enough to open

t

the squelch and turn the BUSY indicator on.

 

3Repeat steps 1 and 2 to lockout any other channels you may want to skip.

4To cancel the lockout, select the memory channel number. If it was locked out, it will have the * indicator on the display.

Press the F key and then the 0/L.OUT key. The * will disappear.

1Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.

2Press the Band key to select the desired Scanning Band.

3Press the VFO key to select the VFO mode.

4Press and hold the VFO key for longer than one second.

6 Programmable Band Scan

This transceiver can select and scan a frequency range in a band.

You can set separate limits for both VHF and UHF, limiting dual scan on both bands.

Even if you sets the programmable band scan limits, the VFO tuning range is not limited unlike the programmable VFO function. (See page 15.)

For example, you can program so that the transceiver scans a range from 144.50 to 145.80 in the VHF band.

Use the following procedure to specify the desired scan limit.

1Press the BAND key to select the desired Band.

2Select the desired upper scan limit.

3Press and hold the M key for longer than one second, then press the 5 key.

4Select the desired lower scan limit.
