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 the Mic PF key programmed as MONI {page 59}

to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency.

Release the key to resume scanning.

◆Pressing and holding Mic [PTT] causes scan to stop (excluding

Priority Scan).

◆While scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by

turning the Tuning control or using the Mic [UP]/[DWN] keys.

◆Starting scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check (ASC)

{page 26}.

◆Adjust the Squelch level before using Scan {page 14}. Selecting a

Squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.
