NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO Mode,
3 types of scanning are available: Band Scan, Program
Scan, and MHz 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 VHF band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range
in the specifications {page 72}.) When the current VFO
receive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency
range {below}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency
range available for the current VFO.
1 Press
[VFO] and turn the Tuning control or press
Mic [UP]/[DWN] to select a frequency outside of the
Program Scan frequency range.
2 Press
[VFO] (1s) to start Band Scan.
• Scan starts from the current frequency.
• The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress.
3 Press any key other than [F] or [ ] (Power) to stop
Band Scan.
Note:
◆ The transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in Menu
No. 7 (P.VFO) {page 61}.
◆ If you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L2/U2 range in step 2,
Program Scan starts.
PROGRAM SCAN
You can limit the scanning frequency range. There are
3 memory channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2) available for
specifying the start and end frequencies. Program
Scan monitors the range between the start and end
frequencies that you have stored in these Memory
Channels. Before performing Program Scan, store the
Program Scan frequency range to one of the Memory
Channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2).
■ Storing a Program Scan Frequency Range
1 Press
[VFO] and turn the Tuning control or
press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to select your desired start
frequency.
2 Press
[F].
• A Memory Channel number appears and blinks.
3 Turn the
Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN]
to select a Memory Channel from L0 ~ L2.
4 Press
[MR] to store the start frequency in the
Memory Channel.
5 Turn the Tuning control to select your desired end
frequency.
6 Press
[F].
