MEMORY SCAN ALL-CHANNEL SCAN

Memory Scan monitors all memory channels in which you have stored frequencies (All-channel Scan) or only a desired group of memory channels (Group Scan).

Scan automatically stops at a channel where a signal is present, regardless of the operating mode. The transceiver will either remain on that channel for a short time (Time-Operated mode) or until the signal drops out (Carrier-Operated mode). Use Menu No. 11 to select the mode. The default is ÒtoÓ (Time- Operated).

SCAN RESUME METHOD

The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (or memory channel) where a signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to which resume mode you have selected. You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-operated mode.

•Time-Operated mode (“to”)

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (or memory channel) for approximately 6 seconds, then continues to scan, even if the signal is still present.

•Carrier-Operated mode (“co”)

The transceiver remains on the busy frequency (or memory channel) until the signal drops out. There is a 2 second delay between signal dropout and scan resumption.

1Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to enter Menu mode.

2Turn the MULTI control to select Menu No. 11.

3Press []/ [] to select ÒtoÓ (Time-Operated) or ÒcoÓ (Carrier-Operated).

4Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to complete the setting and exit Menu mode.

You can lock out the memory channels that you prefer not to monitor while scanning. To do this, refer to ÒMemory Channel LockoutÓ {page 54}.

Use the following procedure to scan all the memory channels that contain frequency data in sequence, ignoring the Memory Group number.

1Select Time-operated or Carrier-operated mode via Menu No. 11.

2Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall mode.

3Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch threshold to mute the speaker.

4Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) to enter Scan Group Select mode.

¥Turn the MULTI control to select the Memory channel group.

¥MGROUPÐ0 represents Memory channel 0 ~ 9, MGROUPÐ1 represents Memory channel 10 ~ 19 and so on up to MGROUPÐ9 which represents Memory channel 90 ~ 99 {page 53}.

5As you select the Memory Groups using the MULTI control, press [] to select ÒoFFÓ for all Memory Groups.

6Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to return to Memory Recall mode.

7Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start All-channel Scan.

¥Scan starts from the current memory channel and ascends up through the channel numbers. (The scan direction cannot be changed.)

¥To jump to a desired channel while scanning, turn the MULTI control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN].

8To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR].

Note:

◆If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond the squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel where a signal is present. If this happens, turn the SQL control slightly counterclockwise.

◆Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions.
