* Band Scan

Scan proceeds over the entire band. This function operates only in the VFO mode. (page 26)

nProgrammable Band Scan

The scan range for this mode is specified in memory. (page 26)

nMHz Scan

Scans over a 1 MHz range. (page 27)

nVFO / Memory Scan

Provides alternate scanning of the VFO and last used memory channel. (page 27)

nCALL/VFO Scan
