Note:
◆When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver stops at a busy frequency and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiver unmutes. Otherwise, it resumes scanning.
◆Press and hold [MONI/SQL] to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency. Release [MONI/SQL] to resume scanning.
◆While the transceiver is in VOX Mode or transmitting, it causes scan to stop (excluding Priority Scan).
◆Pressing [MENU] causes scan to stop.
◆Starting scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check (ASC) {page 38}.
◆If you press any key other than the following keys during scan, the transceiver exits scan (excluding Priority Scan). Priority Scan stops while “Pr” is blinking: [F], [F] (1 s), [LAMP], [MONI/SQL], Tuning control, and [F] then [MONI/SQL].
NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO Mode, 2 types of scanning are available: Band Scan and Program Scan.
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. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range in the specifications {page 122}.) When the current VFO receive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 59}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.
1Press [VFO].
2Turn the Tuning control to select the frequency outside of the Program Scan frequency range.
