◆Pressing Mic [PTT] causes Scan to stop.
NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode, 2 types of scanning are available.
¥VFO Scan
The transceiver scans the entire frequency range of the transceiver. For example, if you are operating and receiving on the transceiverÕs VFO A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans entire frequencies in the range of 30.00 kHz to 59.999.99 MHz. (Refer to available VFO frequency range in the Specifications.)
¥Program Scan
By programming the start and end frequency in Memory channels 90 ~ 99 {page 53}, you can limit the scanning frequency range. Since there are 10 memory channels (90 ~ 99) available for specifying the start and end frequency, you can select one or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to scan. This is useful when you are waiting for a DX station on a certain frequency but the station may appear on a slightly higher or lower frequency.
VFO SCAN
VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is available for the current VFO. When the Program Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan Group is selected for the Program Scan, the transceiver also scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.
The memory channel numbers 90 ~ 99 have alias names, ÒVGROUPÓ. ÒVGROUPÐ0Ó represents channel 90, ÒVGROUPÐ1Ó represents channel 91, ÒVGROUPÐ2Ó represents channel 92, and so on up to ÒVGROUPÐ9Ó which represents channel 99.
If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are programmed in VGROUPÐ0 to 9 (Memory channel numbers 90 ~ 99 in other words):
1Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) in VFO mode.
¥ÒVGROUP
2Turn the MULTI control to select the Program Scan memory (VGROUPÐ0 to VGROUPÐ9). As you select the channel, ÒonÓ or ÒoFFÓ appears on the frequency display. ÒonÓ signifies that the selected VGROUP is active for the Program Scan and ÒoFFÓ signifies that the selected VGROUP is inactive for the Program Scan.
Configure all VGROUP channels (VGROUPÐ0 ~ VGROUPÐ9) as ÒoFFÓ by pressing [
].
3Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to return to the current VFO mode.
4Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the VFO Scan.
5Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to stop the VFO Scan.
Note:
◆While scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the RIT/ XIT control. Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise to decrease/ increase the scan speed. The speed indicator appears on the
◆You cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode.
PROGRAM SCAN
Program Scan monitors the range between the start and end frequencies that you have stored in Memory channels 90 ~ 99 (VGROUPÐ0 ~ 9). Refer to ÒSTORING FREQUENCY RANGESÓ {page 53} for details on how to store the start and end frequencies to Memory channels 90 ~ 99 (VGROUPÐ0 ~ 9).
You can select a maximum of 10 memory channels (VGROUP 0 to 9) and sequentially scan the frequency ranges that you stored in these channels. If the current VFO frequency falls within the selected VGROUP frequency range, the Program Scan starts from the VGROUP number and then continues to scan the next larger VGROUP number. If the current VFO frequency is outside all of the VGROUP frequency ranges, the Program Scan starts from the smallest VGROUP number that is selected as ÒonÓ (each VGROUP can be set to either ÒonÓ or ÒoFFÓ).
1Press [A/B / M/V] to select VFO A or VFO B.
2Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s).
3Turn the MULTI control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select the memory channel (VGROUPÐ0 to
