NORMAL SCAN

When you are operating the transceiver in VFO Mode,

3 types of scanning are available: Band Scan, Program Scan, and MHz Scan.

BAND SCAN

The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For example, if you are operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the frequencies available for the VHF band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range in the specifications {page 72}.) When the current VFO receive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {below}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.

1 Press [VFO] and turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to select a frequency outside of the

PROGRAM SCAN

You can limit the scanning frequency range. There are 3 memory channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2) available for specifying the start and end frequencies. Program Scan monitors the range between the start and end frequencies that you have stored in these Memory Channels. Before performing Program Scan, store the Program Scan frequency range to one of the Memory Channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2).
