2Similar to scanning of marine channels, Dual Watch and Triple watch stop when a signal is found and remain blocked for a few seconds after the signal disappears, in order to give the user a chance to respond to a call, if necessary.

2Dual/Triple Watch cannot function correctly if the squelch is not correctly regulated, as described in par .5.3

6.4.Memory scanning (SCAN MEMORY)

1. Similar to the scan function, memory scan willH cycle sequentially through the channels, but only

those, which have been pre-selected (at least 3).

2.Press the “M/S” function key (G) . The radio emits

2 beeps and “M/S Sel” appears on the display for about 2 seconds (H).

3.Select another channel and repeat the procedure mentioned above.

In order to eliminate a channel erroneously inserted into scan cycle, select the channel press

and hold the “M/S” function key until the displayI shows “M/S Del”. (I) .

4.Once all channels are stored, the scanning can begin (SCAN MEMORY): Press the function key corresponding to the written “M/S”. The channels will be monitored and the display will show the script “M/S” – which indicates the scanning of the stored channels, - “Adv” and “Del” in relation to the 2 function keys. Every time a signal/disturb is found on a channel, the scanning stopps for a few seconds in order to give the user a chance to respond to the call or to cancel the channel, if necessary.

2Note: Scanning does not function correctly if the squelch is not regulated as described in par.5.3.

6.4.a Reception/Transmission during SCAN MEMORY

Reception: If REGATTA 2 finds a signal the scanning interrupts. The display indicates “RX” instead of “M/S” and the communication will be received through the loudspeaker.

Transmission: It is possible to transmit at any time, also when the scanning is active. In that case REGATTA 2 will always transmit on channel 16; if instead the transmission is done after a signal has been found, the device will transmit on the previously busy channel. After the transmission the scanning comes interrupted.

6.4.b To delete/To jump a pre-selected channel in memory

If during the scanning a signal is received on an undesired or disturbed channel, it is possible to temporarily cancel the channel or to skip the channel momentarily.

In order to execute these functions, the radio must be syntonized on a channel (firm scanning). Through the two function keys corresponding to “Adv” and “Del” you will have the possibility to jump the busy channel respective to cancel it from the pre- selected list of channels.

There are 4 modes to stop the scanning of channels in memory:

1.By pressing the PTT-button.

2.By pressing the 16 button on the microphone or on the front panel

3.By pressing the C-button.

4.By sending out a DSC-Call.
