MEMORY SCANNING

Preferential Memory Scan

The VX-177also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you can “flag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “￿” icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.

When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the blinking “￿” icon appended, only those channels bearing the blinking “u” icon will be scanned. If you ini- tiate scanning on a channel which does not have the blinking “￿” icon appended, you will scan all channels including those with the blinking “￿” icon appended.

Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:

1.Recall the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List.

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 “ONLY.”

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

5.To remove a channel from the Preferential Scan List, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select “OFF” in step 3 above.

To initiate Preferential Memory Scan:

1. Press the [F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 39: SCN MD.

3. Press the [F] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.

4. Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select “ONLY.”

5. Press the PTT switch to save the setting and exit to normal op- eration.

6.Now, press and hold in either the [￿(MHz)] or [￿(MHz)] key

for one second to initiate the Preferential Memory Scan. Only the channels which have the blinking “￿” icon appended to the channel number will be scanned.

7.To cancel the Preferential Memory Scan, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select “MEM” in step 4 above
