All-Frequency Scanning, Memory Scanning

.Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning

Frequency scanning can be achieved by either of two methods: the first method involves scanning of all frequencies between a pre-set upper and lower scan frequency. The second method permits the scanning of frequencies previously programmed in the memory locations 0 thru 9.

All-Frequency Scanning

To allow All-Frequency scanning, the user must first program the upper and lower scan limit frequencies as follows:

1.Press the PRG (Program) key.

2.Press the SCAN key. ("PRG SCAN+" should appear in the lower right-hand corner of the display window.)

3.Using the SHF key and the UP and DOWN arrows, select the upper scan limit frequency.

4.Press the SCAN key again. ("SCAN-"should appear in the display window.)

5.Using the SHF key and UP and DOWN arrows, select the lower scan limit frequency, then press the ENT key.

The upper and lower scan limits have now been programmed. To activate the scan feature, return the radio to manual operation and press the SCAN button. If the display shows "SCAN+", the radio will scan from the lower limit to the upper limit. If "SCAN-"is displayed, the unit will scan from the upper limit to the lower limit. To change from "SCAN+" to "SCAN-"or vice versa, press SCAN.

NOTE

Whichever upper and lower scan limits are programmed in, are also the upper and lower operating limits of the radio. The radio will not operate above or below the scan limits last programmed in. Full band coverage can be returned by reprogramming the original band edges.

Memory Scanning

The RCI-5054DX has 10 non-volatile memory locations which can be programmed to any frequency within the operating range of the radio. The scan function of the unit can scan the frequencies in the 10 memory locations.

The first step in utilizing the memory scan function is programming the desired frequencies into the memory locations 0 thru 9 by performing the following steps:

1.With the radio operating in the manual mode, press the PRG (Program) key.

2.Press the MEM key. "PRG" should display in the lower right- hand corner of the LCD display. "MEM" should display in the upper left portion of the display. A number between 0 and 9 will display directly below MEM. This number represents the memory location currently being shown on the frequency display. Pressing the MEM key will increase the memory counter to the next memory location and the frequency in that memory location will be displayed.

3.Set the new frequency to be stored in the memory location displayed by using the SHF key and the UP and DOWN arrows. After the desired frequency is indicated, press ENT. This will overwrite whatever frequency had been previously stored at this location.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all of the memory locations to be programmed.

5.After the desired memory locations have been programmed with frequencies, return the unit to the manual mode of operation by pressing the MAN key.

6.To initiate memory scanning, press MEM and then SCAN. The display will show "SCAN+" or "SCAN-"to indicate whether the radio is scanning from the lowest to the highest memory location or vice versa. To return the radio to normal (non-scanning) operation, press the MAN key.
