■Voice squelch control function

VSC

SCANS 9

This function is useful when you don’t want unmodulated signals pausing or cancelling a scan. When the voice squelch control function is activated, the transceiver checks received signals for voice components.

If a received signal includes voice components, and the tone of the voice components changes within 1 sec., scan pauses (or stops). If the received signal includes no voice components or the tone of the voice components does not change within 1 sec., scan re- sumes.

➥While a phone mode (SSB, AM or FM) is selected, push [VSC] (MF7) to switch the VSC (Voice Squelch Control) function ON and OFF.

•“VSC” appears when the function is activated.

• The VSC function activates for any scan.

• The VSC function resumes the scan on unmodu-

lated signals, regardless of whether the scan resume condition is set to ON or OFF.

■Scan set mode

					When the squelch is open, scan continues until it is
					stopped manually— it does not pause on detected sig-
					nals. When squelch is closed, scan stops when de-
					tecting a signal, then resumes according to the scan
					resume condition. Scan speed and the scan resume
					condition can be set using the scan set mode.
