VGROUP–9). As you select the Memory Channel,
“on” or “oFF” appears on the main frequency
display. “on” signifies that the memory channel is
active for the Program Scan and “oFF” signifies
that the memory channel group is inactive for the
Program Scan.
4To activate the Program Scan frequency range,
select the desired VGROUP number by turning the
MULTI control. Then, press [ ] to select “on” for
the VGROUP (channel). When a channel is
activated for the Program Scan, “on” appears on
the display.
Note:
At least one of the valid Program Scan channels (from 90 to
99) must be programmed and selected to perform the Program Scan.
If no VGROUP (memory channel 90 ~ 99) is selected for the Program
Scan, the transceiver performs the VFO Scan {above}.
5Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to return
to the current VFO mode.
6Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the Program
Scan.
•To quickly move towards a desired frequency
while scanning, turn the Tuning control or the
MULTI control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN].
•Turning the RIT/ XIT control clockwise
decreases the scan speed and
counterclockwise increases the speed, except
while in FM mode. The current scan speed is
shown on the display; P1 is the fastest speed
and P9 is the slowest.
•While in FM mode, Scan automatically stops
on a frequency where a signal is present. The
transceiver will either remain on that channel
for a short time (Time-Operated mode) or until
the signal drops out (Carrier-Operated mode),
depending on which mode you select via Menu
No. 11 {page 58}.
7To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or
[MTR/ CLR].
Note:
◆
If you have turned the
SQL
control clockwise, far beyond the
squelch threshold while in FM mode, Scan may fail to stop at a
channel where a signal is present. If this happens, turn the
SQL
control slightly counterclockwise.
◆
If you press
[SCAN/ SG.SEL]
before storing any frequency range
for memory channels 90 to 99, the transceiver starts VFO scan.
◆
When the current receive frequency is within one of the ranges
that you selected with channel numbers, Scan starts with the
current frequency. The operating mode stored in the memory
channel is used.
◆
The operating mode can be changed while scanning, but the
memory channel is overwritten with the changed mode.
◆
When the current Scan range is smaller than a single step of the
MULTI
control, turning the control clockwise causes Scan to jump
to the start frequency, and counterclockwise to the end
frequency.
◆
Starting Program Scan switches OFF the RIT
and XIT functions.
◆
While in FM mode, the Program Scan monitors rounded off
frequencies regardless of the Menu No. 05 setting.
PROGRAM SCAN PARTIALLY SLOWED
You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency points for
each memory channel from 90 to 99 so that the
Program Scan slows down the scanning speed. To
specify the slow down frequency points, first program
the start and end frequencies into a memory channel
(90 ~ 99) {page 53}.
1Access Menu No. 08 to confirm that the function is
ON (default is ON).
2You can further configure the slow down frequency
width. Access Menu No. 09 to select the range
from 100 Hz to 500 Hz (default is 300 Hz).
Note:
If you select, for example, 500 Hz for Menu No. 09, the
Program Scan slows down to a
±
500 Hz width, centering the
frequency you marked below.
3Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) and turn the MULTI control
to recall the memory channel (90 ~ 99) for which
you want to specify the scan slow down
frequencies.
4Press [ ]/ [ ] to confirm the start ([ ]) or end
([ ]) frequency.
5Turn the Tuning control to the center frequency
point that you want the Program Scan to slow
down. Press [QMI/ M.IN] to mark the slow down
frequency point. The “ ” icon appears.
6Repeat step 5 to specify the center slow down
frequency points. You can specify a maximum of
5 frequency points for each channel.
7If you want to clear a slow down frequency point
that you previously stored, select the frequency
that you stored. Press [QMI/ M.IN] at this
frequency spot where “ ” appears.
•A confirmation beep sounds and the
transceiver “ ” disappears.
•If you want to clear all the slow down frequency
points at once, perform the Channel \
Channel Transfer to overwrite the memory data
to the same memory channel {page 52}. This
operation removes all the frequency points that
you stored.
8Press [A/B / M/V] to return to VFO mode.
9Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the Program Scan
with the slow down frequency point(s).
Note:
◆
During the Program Scan, you can turn the
RIT/ XIT
control to
adjust the scanning speed. Turn the control clockwise/ counter-
clockwise to slow down/ speed up the scan. The Program Scan
speed indicator appears on the main dot-matrix display during
the Program Scan; P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the slowest.
◆
You cannot change the Program Scan speed in FM mode.
◆
You can specify the Program Scan slow down frequency point in
FM mode but it does not function.
SCAN HOLD
This function stops Program Scan for approximately
5 seconds, then resumes Scan when you jump to the
desired frequency by turning the Tuning control or the
MULTI control, or by pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN].
To use this function, access Menu No. 10, and select
“on”. The default is OFF.
