SCANNING

MEMORY SCANNING

Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:

1.Select the Memory mode by pressing the [MR(SKIP)] key, if necessary.

2.Press and hold in either the [￿(MHz)] or [￿(MHz)] key for one second to initiate upward or downward scanning, respectively.

3.If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink during this “Pause” condition.

4.The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the previous section.

5.To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or [MR(SKIP)] key.

How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation

As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta- tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan- Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels may be “Skipped” during scanning, if you like:

1.Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.

2.Press the [F] key, then press the [MR(SKIP)] key to enter the “Skip” channel-selec- tion mode.

3. Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select “SKIP.” The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The “ONLY” se- lection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan,” described in the next section.

4.When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the setting and exit to normal operation.

When you recall the “skipped” memory channel manually, a small “￿” icon will appear at the left of the memory channel number, indi- cating it is to be ignored during scanning.

To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “OFF” in step 3 above (the “Skipped” channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
