SCAN

Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating efficiency.

This transceiver provides the following types of scans:

Scan Type	Scan Range
VFO Scan	Scans all frequencies on the current band.
Memory Scan	Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.
Group Scan	Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which
	belong to the group you have specified.
Program Scan	Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on
	the current band.
MHz Scan	Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the
	originating frequency.
Call Scan	Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected
	VFO frequency or Memory channel.

Note:

uAdjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.

uWhile using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected.

uWhen using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting.

uPressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band.

uStarting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF.
