Selecting a Scan Resume Method

The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to which resume mode you have selected. You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-operated mode.

◆Time-Operated mode (TO)

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel for approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to scan even if the signal is still present.

◆Carrier-Operated mode (CO)

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel until the signal drops out. There is a 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scan resumption.

◆Seek mode (SE)

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel even after the signal drops out and does not automatically resume scanning.

1Enter Menu mode and access Menu No. 3 (SCAN).

2Press [MENU], then rotate the Selector (or press [UP]/ [DOWN]) to select a Scan Resume mode to “TO”, “CO” or “SE”.

3Press [MENU] to store the setting.

4Press any key other than [MON], [UP]/ [DOWN] or [] to exit Menu mode.

Band Scan

The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For example, if you are operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the frequencies available for the 2 m band.

When the current VFO receive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 38}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.
