7 SCAN

USING VISUAL SCAN (MEMORY CHANNEL)

1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select your desired center memory channel.

3Press [F], [INFO] to start the Visual Scan.

•The transceiver start scanning the 5 upper memory channels and 5 lower memory channels, by centering the selected memory channel.

•The current scanning memory channel number and frequency are displayed on the current operating band. On the other band, the relative S-meter level of each frequency channel is displayed.

•To pause Scan, press and hold [MONI]. While the Visual Scan is paused, the center frequency bar-graph blinks and you can monitor the frequency. Release [MONI] to resume the Visual Scan.

4To change the current scanning channel, turn the Tuning control or press []/ [].

5To stop the Visual Scan, press [F], [INFO].

Note:

◆You can press [PTT] (or [CALL] if 1750 Hz is programmed) to transmit during the scan if the center frequency is within the transmission frequency range. The center bar-graph blinks while transmitting.

◆If 11 or more memory channels are stored, “s” and “t” do not appear.

◆Even if the Fine Tuning ON status is stored in the memory channels, the Visual Scan (Memory Channel) starts.

Note:

◆The Program Scan memories (L0/U0 ~ L9/U9) and Priority channels (Pr1 and Pr2) cannot be locked out.

◆Even if a memory channel is locked out, you can perform the Call Scan {page 25} between the Call channel and memory channel.

◆If the same memory channel is recalled to the A and B-band, you cannot lock out the channel.

SCAN RESUME METHOD

The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (or memory channel) where a signal is detected. It then continues or stops scanning according to which resume mode you have selected.

•Time-Operated mode (default)

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

•Carrier-Operated mode

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

•Seek mode

The transceiver moves to a frequency or memory channel where a signal is present and stops.

To change the scan resume method:

1Press [MNU].

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select Menu No. 1 (SCAN RESUME).

MEMORY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

You can lock out memory channels that you prefer not to monitor during Memory Scan.

1Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.

2Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select the memory channel to be locked out.

3Press [F], [MHz].

•“” appears at the top right of the memory channel number, indicating the channel is locked out.

4To unlock the memory channel, repeat steps 1 ~ 3.

• “” disappears.

3Press [] or [MNU].

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to select “TIME ” (Time-Operated mode), “CARRIER” (Carrier-Operated mode), or “SEEK” (Seek mode).

5Press [] or [MNU] to store the setting. Otherwise, press [] or [PTT] to cancel.
