14 SCAN

6Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to return to Memory Recall mode.

7Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start All-channel Scan.

•Scan starts from the current memory channel and ascends up through the channel numbers (scan direction cannot be changed).

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

8To stop Scan, press [SCAN] or [CLR].

Note:

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

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

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

GROUPSCAN

For the purpose of Group Scan, the 300 memory channels can be divided into 10 groups so that you can select one or more groups to be scanned, depending on the situation.

When you store frequency data in a memory channel {page 58}, the transceiver automatically adds the default Group 0 (zero), to the memory channel data.

To recall the existing memory channel data and revise the Group number:

1Press [M.IN] to enter Memory Scroll mode.

2Select the desired memory channel by turning the MULTI/ CH control.

3Press [DISP].

•The Memory Name input prompt appears. Press [DISP] again to skip the input or enter a Memory Name using [+]/ [–]and [MAIN]/ [SUB] {page 63}.

4Press the desired Group number ([0] to [9]) using the numeric keypad. The selected Group number appears in a larger font.

Note: You can select only one of 10 groups (0 to 9) for each memory channel.

5Press [M.IN] to store and overwrite the new channel data to the memory channel.

6Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each memory channel you want to assign to a specific group.

You can select a maximum of 10 groups and sequentially scan the channels that belong to those groups. Group Scan starts with the smallest group number and repeats the sequence, for example, group 3 ➞ group 5 ➞ group 7 ➞ group 3.

1Select Time-operated or Carrier-operated mode via Menu No. 10.

2Press [VFO/M] to enter Memory Recall mode.

3Turn the MAIN SQL or SUB SQL control to adjust the squelch threshold.

4Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to enter Scan Group Select mode. Then, using the numeric keypad, enter the group numbers you want to scan. i.e.- Press [3] for group 3, or press [3], [5], [7] for groups 3, 5, and 7. The selected Memory Groups appear in a larger font.

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

6Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] again to start Memory Group Scan.

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

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

7To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR].

After using Group Scan, press [FUNC],

[SCAN/ SG.SEL], then [•/ DCS/SEL]to deselect all the Group numbers you selected in step 4. This returns you to All-channel Scan (factory default).

Note:

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

◆If you have turned the MAIN SQL or SUB 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.

CALLSCAN

A Call channel can be stored for each operating band, such as HF, 50 MHz, 144 MHz, 430 (440) MHz and 1.2 GHz (TS-2000 Optional) bands. You can monitor one of these Call channels and the current operating frequency alternatively.

1Select the frequency you want to monitor.

•In VFO mode, press [A/B] to select VFO A or B for the main transceiver or press [SUB] or [CTRL] to select the sub-receiver VFO. Then, turn the Tuning control or the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired frequency.

•In Memory Recall mode, press [VFO/M] to select the memory channel you want to monitor by turning the MULTI/ CH control.

2Press [CALL/ C.IN] to recall the Call channel for the frequency band.
