Scan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortable with all types of Scan, you will increase your operating efficiency.

This transceiver provides the following types of scans:

Scan Type		Purpose
	VFO Scan	Scans the entire frequency
		range of the transceiver.
Normal
		Scans the specific frequency
Scan	Program
		ranges stored in Memory
	Scan
		channels P0 ~ P9.
	All-Channel	Scans all Memory channels,
Memory	Scan	from 00 ~ 99 and P0 ~ P9
Scan	Group Scan	Scans the specific Memory
		channel groups.
Quick Memory Scan		Scans the Quick Memory
		channels.

Note:

XWhile using CTCSS in FM mode, Scan stops only for the signals that contain the same CTCSS tone that you selected.

XPressing Mic [PTT] causes Scan to stop.

While operating the transceiver in VFO mode, 2 types of scanning are available.

•VFO Scan

The transceiver scans the entire frequency range of the transceiver. For example, if you are operating and receiving on the transceiver’s VFO A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans all the frequencies in the range of 30.00 kHz to 59.999.99 MHz. (Refer to the available VFO frequency range in the specifications.)

•Program Scan

By programming the start and end frequency in Memory channels P0 ~ P9, you can limit the scanning frequency range. Since there are

10 memory channels (P0 ~ P9) available for specifying the start and end frequencies, you can select 1 or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to scan. This is useful when you are waiting for a DX station on a certain frequency but the station may appear on a slightly higher or lower frequency.

9)26&$1

VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is available for the current VFO. When the Program Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan Group is selected for the Program Scan, the transceiver also scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.

The memory channel numbers P0 ~ P9 have alias names, “P.SCAN”. “P.SCAN–P0” represents channel P0, “P.SCAN–P1” represents channel P1, “P.SCAN–P2” represents channel P2, and so on up to “P.SCAN–P9” which represents channel P9.

If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are programmed in P.SCAN–P0 to P9 (Memory channel numbers P0 ~ P9 in other words):

1Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] in VFO mode.

•“P.SCAN–Pn” appears on the sub-display (where n represents a number from 0 to 9).

2Turn the MULTI/CH control to select the Program Scan memory (P.SCAN–P0 to P.SCAN–P9). As you select the channel, “on” or “oFF” appears on the frequency display. “on” signifies that the selected P.SCAN is active for the Program Scan and “oFF” signifies that the selected P.SCAN is inactive for the Program Scan.

Configure all P.SCAN channels (P.SCAN–P0 ~ P.SCAN–P9) as “oFF” by pressing [SCAN (SG. SEL)].

3Press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR] to return to the current VFO mode.

4Press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to start the VFO Scan.

5Press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR] to stop the VFO Scan.

Note:

XWhile scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the RIT/ XIT control. Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise to decrease/ increase the scan speed. The speed indicator appears on the sub-display, where P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the slowest.

XYou cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode.

352*5$06&$1

Program Scan monitors the range between the start and end frequencies that you have stored in Memory channels P0 ~ P9 (P.SCAN–P0 ~ P9). Refer to “STORING FREQUENCY RANGES” {page 43} for details on how to store the start and end frequencies to these Memory channels.

You can select a maximum of 10 memory channels (P.SCAN-P0 to P9) and sequentially scan the frequency ranges that you stored in these channels. If the current VFO frequency falls within the selected P.SCAN frequency range, Program Scan starts from the P.SCAN number and then continues to scan the next larger P.SCAN number. If the current VFO frequency is outside all of the P.SCAN frequency ranges, Program Scan starts from the smallest P.SCAN number that is selected as “on” (each P.SCAN can be set to either “on” or “oFF”).

Note: At least one of the valid Program Scan channels (from P0 to P9) must be programmed and selected to perform Program Scan. If no P.SCAN (memory channel P0 ~ P9) is selected for Program Scan, the transceiver performs VFO Scan {above}.

1Press [A/B (A=B)] to select VFO A or VFO B.

2 Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)].
