GROUP SCAN

100 memory channels are divided into 10 groups so that you can select one or more groups to be scanned, depending on the situation.

■Memory Group

When you store frequency data in a memory channel {page 50}, the memory channel belongs to one of 10 groups as shown below.

Memory		Memory Group	Memory	Memory Groupl
Channel		No.	Channel	No.
No.			No.
0	~ 9	MGROUP–0	50 ~ 59	MGROUP–5
10	~ 19	MGROUP–1	60 ~ 69	MGROUP–6
20	~ 29	MGROUP–2	70 ~ 79	MGROUP–7
30	~ 39	MGROUP–3	80 ~ 89	MGROUP–8
40	~ 49	MGROUP–4	90 ~ 99	MGROUP–9

■Scan Group Select

You can select one or more groups to be scanned. First, select the groups to be scanned.

1Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall mode.

¥ÒM.CHÓ appears.

2Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) to enter Scan Group Select mode.

3As you turn the MULTI control, the MGROUP number on the sub-display changes.

¥MGROUPÐ0 represents Memory channel 0 ~ 9, MGROUPÐ1 represents Memory channel 10 ~ 19 and so on up to MGROUPÐ9 which represents Memory channel 90 ~ 99.

4Press [] to select ÒonÓ to add the group to the Group Scan list.

¥If you do not wish the selected Group to be scanned, press [] to select ÒoFFÓ.

5Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to exit the Scan Group Select mode.

■Performing Group Scan

Group Scan starts with the smallest group number and repeats the sequence. For example, if you selected ÒonÓ for MGROUPÐ3, MGROUPÐ5, and MGROUPÐ7, the transceiver scans the channels in MGROUPÐ3 / MGROUPÐ5 / MGROUPÐ7 / MGROUPÐ3 and so on.

1Select Time-operated or Carrier-Operated mode via Menu No. 11.

2Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall mode.

3Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch threshold.

4Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start Memory Group Scan.

¥Scan ascends up through the channel numbers. (The scan direction cannot be changed.)

¥To jump to a desired channel while scanning, turn the MULTI control or press and hold Mic [UP]/ [DWN].

5To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR].

Note:

◆If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond the squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel in which a signal is present. If this happens, turn the SQL control slightly counterclockwise.

◆When the current channel is within one of the groups that you selected, Scan starts with the current channel.

◆When the current channel is outside all the groups that you selected, Scan starts with the group number that is larger than and closest to the group number of the current channel.

◆Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions.
