Icom IC-R3 instruction manual Selecting scan edges, Band ranges, Scan Operation

■Selecting scan edges

The scanning range can be set to all frequencies (full scan), a selected band (band scan) or between two user-programmed frequencies (programmed scan).

The programmed scan edges can be programmed in the

same manner as programming regular memory channels.

Program the desired scan edge frequencies in a pair of programmed scan edge channels in advance. (pgs. 14, 15)

qSelect VFO mode with [V/M].

wPush and hold [↔], then rotate [DIAL] to select desired scan edge.

•“ALL” for full scan, “BAND” for band scan or “PROG(RAM) 0” – “PROG(RAM)24” for programmed scan.

eRelease [↔] to start the programmed scan using the se- lected edges.

When scanning across the band as follows (programmed

scan edges are set across the band), the parameters like

tuning step, receive mode, offset frequency, duplex direc-

tion, etc. are used in each bands’ VFO settings instead of these scan edges.
