5 Press and hold the M key for longer than one second, then press the 4 key.

Notes

1 Initialize the VFO memory (VFO RESET) to clear both programmed limits simultaneously. Press and hold the F key and turn on the power. You can reprogram either limit independently.

2 Programmable band scan is not initiated when the lower frequency limit is not in the same band or step size, or when it is higher than the upper limit frequency.

Confirming Scan Limit

*Press the F key for longer than one second, then press the 4 key to display the band scan lower frequency limit.

nPress the F key for longer than one second, then press the 5 key to display the band scan upper frequency limit.

Initiating Programmable Band Scan

1Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.

2Select a frequency between the two programmed scan limits.

3Press and hold the VFO key for longer than one second.

The MHz indicator will flash when the transceiver is scanning.

7 MHz Scan

1Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.

2Start the band scan or programmable band scan.

3Press the MHz key during band scan or programmable band scan. Scanning begins in an upward sequence over a 1 MHz range.

Example: If the MHz key is pressed when the frequency is 145.02 MHz for VHF band scan, just the 145 MHz band is scanned.

8 VFO/Memory Scan

This function lets you alternately scan the VFO frequency shown on the display and the last-used memory channel.

1 Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.
