6 SCANS

■Programming scan edge frequencies

A set of scan edge frequencies must be programmed before starting the programmed or auto memory write scans. 10 pairs of scan edges are available: 0P1 to 9P2.

➀Push [PROG] for 1 sec.

•“*SET*” appears in the bank name area, then changes to a flashing “PROG.”

➁Rotate the [M-CH] selector to select the lower scan

edge in a pair e.g. 0P1.

•The keypad can also be used for selection.

➂Set the frequency, mode, tuning step and memory name then push [MW] for 1 sec. to program one of the scan edges.

➃Rotate the [M-CH] selector to select the other edge in the pair e.g. 0P2.

➄Set the frequency then push [MW] for 1 sec. to program.

•Mode, tuning step and name are common to both scan edges.

➅Push [PROG] momentarily to return to the previous channel; or repeat ➁ to ➅ for other scan edges.

■Scan speed/delay functions

DScan resume condition

Scan pauses when finding a signal, and then resumes or is cancelled depending on the selected scan resume condition. There are 3 resume conditions.

Push [DLY] one or more times to select a resume condition.

• Scan resume OFF∞ Scan pauses until signal disap- OFF DLY pears, then resumes 3 sec. after

that.
