SELECTING a SCAN RESUME METHOD

The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to which resume mode you have selected. You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-operated mode.

•Time-Operated mode

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

•Carrier-Operated mode

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

•Seek mode

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel even after the signal drops out and does not automatically resume scanning.

Note: To temporarily stop scanning and monitor weak signals, press the microphone PF key assigned to the Monitor function {page 66}. Press the PF key again to resume scanning.

1Enter Menu mode and access Menu 514 (SC.RESM) {page 20}.

2Set the Scan Resume mode to TO (Time-Operated), CO (Carrier-Operated) or SEEK.

VFO SCAN

VFO Scan monitors all frequencies tunable on the band, using the current frequency step size.

1Select your desired band.

2Press [VFO] (1s).

•Scan starts at the current frequency.

•The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress.

•To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN].

3To quit VFO Scan, press [VFO] again.
