The Program Scan function scans the range between the Start frequency and End frequency stored in memory channel 99. If Program Scan is used before you store a Start and an End frequency, then the lower and upper frequency limits of the transceiver are automatically stored for the Start and End frequencies respectively. Some General market versions substitute the lower and upper frequencies for the current band in place of the frequency limits of the transceiver.
Program Scan direction is controlled by the Start and End frequency relationship. The following table summarizes the way that Program Scan functions:

For a refresher on how to store the Program Scan Limits, refer to ÒSTORING SCAN LIMITS IN CH 99Ó {page 58}. The following are additional important points regarding the Program Scan function:
¥Starting a transmission by closing the CW key, by sending a packet, or by triggering the VOX circuit by voice or the
¥When the Program Scan range is smaller than a single step of the M.CH/VFO.CH control, turning this control causes Scan to jump to the lower of the Start/End frequencies, then continue scanning.
¥Starting the Program Scan function switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions. RIT and XIT are not switched ON again when Program Scan stops, and the RIT/XIT offset frequency is not cleared.
¥Operating mode can be changed while scanning.
¥If Automatic Mode is switched ON, it will function with the Program Scan function.
Use the following procedure to activate Program Scan.
1Select the VFO mode using VFO A or VFO B.
2Press [SCAN].
3To stop scanning, press [SCAN], or [CLR], or [SEND], or Mic [PTT].
While using Program Scan, if Menu No. 65 (PG.S.HOLD) is switched ON, then turning the Tuning or M.CH/VFO.CH control stops the transceiver from scanning for approximately five seconds. This is also true if Mic [UP] or [DWN] is pressed. Program Scan resumes after the five second pause. The default is OFF.
1Recall memory channel 99.
2Press [DOWN] to check the Start frequency and press [UP] to check the End frequency.
