USING VISUAL SCAN (MEMORY CHANNEL)

1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select your desired center memory channel.

3Press [F], [INFO] to start the Visual Scan.

The transceiver start scanning the 5 upper memory channels and 5 lower memory channels, by centering the selected memory channel.

The current scanning memory channel number and frequency are displayed on the current operating band. On the other band, the relative S-meter level of each frequency channel is displayed.

To pause Scan, press and hold [MONI]. While the Visual Scan is paused, the center frequency bar-graph blinks and you can monitor the frequency. Release [MONI] to resume the Visual Scan.

4To change the current scanning channel, turn the Tuning control or press []/ [].

5To stop the Visual Scan, press [F], [INFO].

Note:

You can press [PTT] (or [CALL] if 1750 Hz is programmed) to transmit during the scan if the center frequency is within the transmission frequency range. The center bar-graph blinks while transmitting.

If 11 or more memory channels are stored, “s” and “t” do not appear.

Even if the Fine Tuning ON status is stored in the memory channels, the Visual Scan (Memory Channel) starts.

Note:

The Program Scan memories (L0/U0 ~ L9/U9) and Priority channels (Pr1 and Pr2) cannot be locked out.

Even if a memory channel is locked out, you can perform the Call Scan {page 25} between the Call channel and memory channel.

If the same memory channel is recalled to the A and B-band, you cannot lock out the channel.

SCAN RESUME METHOD

The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (or memory channel) where a signal is detected. It then continues or stops scanning according to which resume mode you have selected.

Time-Operated mode (default)

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (or memory channel) for approximately 5 seconds, then continues to scan, even if the signal is still present.

Carrier-Operated mode

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.

Seek mode

The transceiver moves to a frequency or memory channel where a signal is present and stops.

To change the scan resume method:

1Press [MNU].

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 1 (SCAN RESUME).

MEMORY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

You can lock out memory channels that you prefer not to monitor during Memory Scan.

1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the memory channel to be locked out.

3Press [F], [MHz].

” appears at the top right of the memory channel number, indicating the channel is locked out.

4To unlock the memory channel, repeat steps 1 ~ 3.

• “” disappears.

3Press [] or [MNU].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select “TIME ” (Time-Operated mode), “CARRIER” (Carrier-Operated mode), or “SEEK” (Seek mode).

5Press [] or [MNU] to store the setting. Otherwise, press [] or [PTT] to cancel.
