Entering and removing chan- nels from memory

Use the or keys to select a channel to enter into scan memory. Pressing the MEM key will enter the channel into the scan memory (Fig 15a), and the Radio Status Display will show MEM SET. If the channel is currently in the scan mem- ory, pressing the MEM key will remove it from the scan memory. (Fig. 15b) and the Radio Status Display will show MEM

DEL.

Pressing MEM in WX Mode doesn’t store the Weather Channel in memory and will result in the error tone.

Pressing the MEM key while scan- ning will result in the error tone.

Memory Scan Mode

Memory Scan Mode scans the memorized channels in ascending (or descending) order. To enter Memory Scan Mode, press the SCAN key briefly. (Fig. 15c) If Channels 6, 16, 22, 68, and 72 have been entered into memory, the scan sequence will go from Channel 6 to 16 to 22 to 68 to 72 to 6 to 16 and so on.

The Radio Status Display will show MEMORY SCAN followed by the list of channels in memory (in this case, Channels 6, 16, 22, 68, and 72).

Pressing the SCAN key briefly stops Memory Scan Mode, and returns the radio to the channel which was selected prior to Memory Scan. The Radio Status Display will show SCAN STOP.

Priority Scan Mode

Priority Scan Mode scans the memorized channels in ascending (or descending) order, but checks for traffic on Channel 16 between each memory channel. This makes it more likely that you’ll be aware of important traffic on Channel 16.
