Notes:

1.If you try to perform program scan in a memory group that does not have data in channels 8 and 9 an error tone will sound.

2.No scanning will be performed if Memory Channel 8 and Memory Channel 9 in the selected group are not stored in the HF band or the VHF band.

When the AM or FM mode key is selected, the R-5000 will stop on a busy channel during scan operations. When an incoming signal is detected during frequency scanning the BUSY indicator will light. In order for this function to operate the SQL control must be adjusted to the threshold point. The R-5000 will remain on a station approximately 5 seconds and then resume Time Operated scan.

Note:

All modes other than AM and FM do not stop on a busy channel.

To initiate the Program Scan.

1.During memory Channel operation, press the VFO/M key to return to VFO operation.

Exmaple:

To switch to VFO operation (VFO A) from Memory Channel 14.175 MHz.

2.Select a group which contains the Memory Channel you want to scan using the VFO knob.

Example:

When you want to scan Memory Channel 29 (14.100.00 MHz) from Memory Channel 28 (14.010.00 MHz, CW mode), select one Memory Channel from Me- mory Channel 20 to 29. (The figure below shows Me- mory Channel 23.)

3.Press the SCAN key to start scanning.

4. To clear the scanning, press the CLEAR key.

4-4-3. Scan speed

The microprocessor automatically selects the scan speed best suited for the mode and step frequency. You can use the STEP key during scanning to vary the scan speed.

4-4-4. Memory channel lockout

This receiver has a memory channel lockout function which allows you to temporarily skip unwanted memory channels during memory scan. Locking out unwanted channels will help to increase the effective scan speed.

1.Press the VFO/M key to enter the Memory Channel mode.

2.Select the memory channel that you want to skip using the Numeric Keypad, the TUNING knob, or the UP/ DOWN keys.

3.Press the CLEAR key.

4.A decimal point will appear in the M. CH display to indi- cate that the channel will be skipped.

5.To cancel the lockout, select the desired channel and then press the CLEAR key. The decimal point will go out indicating that the channel will again be scanned.
