Scanning Stored Channels

Scanning

Press SCAN/MAN to begin scanning your programmed frequencies. SCAN scrolls across the display and the scanner scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks.

Select any combination of banks to scan by pressing the corresponding number keys. The bank numbers appear at the top of the display. The bank number which is currently being scanned blinks.

When the scanner ﬁnds a transmission, it stops on it.

BANK0 23 5 789

DLY

When the transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning. If it is a long transmission and you want to move on, press S to resume scanning. If you press PSE when the scanner stops on a transmission, the scanner goes to manual mode. Press PSE or SCAN/MAN to resume scanning.

Notes:

•If you have not stored any frequencies into channels, the scanner does not scan.

•If the scanner picks up unwanted partial or weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals.

•To listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.

•To ensure proper scanning, adjust SQUELCH until the audio mutes.

Manually Selecting a Channel

To directly access a channel:

1.Press SCAN/MAN to stop scanning.

2.Enter the bank and channel number and press SCAN/MAN. The selected channel appears.
