PROGRAMSCAN

Program Scan monitors the range between the start and end frequencies that you have stored in Conventional memory channels 290 to 299. Refer to “STORING FREQUENCY RANGES” {page 62} for details on how to store the start and end frequencies.

You can select a maximum of 10 memory channels (Memory channels 290 to 299) and sequentially scan the ranges that you stored in these channels. Program Scan starts with the smallest channel number and repeats the sequence as described below.

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

•If you are operating the sub-receiver, press [VFO/M] to select VFO mode.

2Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL].

3If no Program scan channel is selected, all memory channel numbers (from 290 to 299) are displayed in small fonts. Only the one’s digit of each memory channel is displayed on the main dot-matrix display.

0 represents channel 290, 1 represents channel 291,

2 represents channel 292, etc.

4To select the Program scan frequency range, press a numeric key 0 to 9. For example, press [3] for channel 293 only or press [3], [5], [7] to select channels 293, 295, and 297. When a channel is selected for the Program Scan, the number is displayed in a larger font.

To temporarily deselect all the channels (290 to 299) so that you can perform the VFO Scan, press

[•/ DCS/SEL]. (Refer to “VFO SCAN” on page 66)

Note:

◆At least one of the valid Program Scan channels (from 290 to 299) must be programmed and selected to perform the Program Scan. If no Program channel is selected or available for the Program Scan, the transceiver performs the VFO Scan.

◆When performing the Program Scan on the sub-receiver, the frequencies must be within the sub-receiver frequency range limitations. Otherwise, the Program Scan cannot be performed. The same conditions apply to the main transceiver.

5Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the Program Scan.

•To quickly move towards a desired frequency while scanning, turn the Tuning control or the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN].

•When in a mode other than FM mode, turning the RIT/ SUB control clockwise decreases the scan speed, and counterclockwise increases the speed. 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. 10 {page 68}.

6To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR].

Note:

◆If you are operating on the sub-receiver and perform the Program Scan, the sub-receiver automatically skips the memory channels that cannot be scanned on the sub-receiver. The same conditions also apply to the main transceiver.

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

◆If you press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] before storing any frequency range for memory channels 290 to 299, 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.

◆When the current receive frequency is outside all the ranges that you selected with the channel numbers, Scan starts with the start frequency stored in the smallest channel number.

◆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/ CH 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. 04 setting.

◆You cannot change the scan speed on the sub-receiver.

PROGRAMSCANPARTIALLYSLOWED

You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency points for each memory channel from 290 to 299 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 (290 ~ 299) {page 62}.

1Access Menu No. 07 to set the function ON (default is OFF).

2You can further configure the slow down frequency width. Access Menu No. 08 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. 08, the Program Scan slows down to a ±500 Hz width, centering the frequency you marked below.

3Press [VFO/M] to recall the memory channel

(290 ~ 299) for which you want to specify the scan slow down frequencies.

4Press [–]or [+] 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 QUICK MEMO [M.IN] to mark the Slow down frequency point. The “” icon appears.
