Kenwood TS-B2000 Visualscan, Using Visual Scan VFO, Changing the Number of Channels to Scan

14 SCAN

3Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL].

4The Call channel and the selected VFO frequency or memory channel are monitored alternatively.

5To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR].

VISUALSCAN

While you are receiving, Visual Scan allows you to monitor frequencies near the current operating frequency. Visual Scan graphically displays how all frequencies in the selected range are busy. You will see a maximum of 7 segments, for each frequency (channel) point that represent relative S-meter levels.

Determine the scan range by selecting the center frequency and the number of channels. The default number of channels is 61.

■Using Visual Scan (VFO)

1 Select the desired band for Visual Scan.

2 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN], to select the operating frequency.

•This frequency will be used as the center frequency.

3Press and hold [DISP] for approximately 1 second to start Visual Scan (VFO).

•The center frequency is displayed on the main frequency display and the current scanning frequency is displayed on the sub frequency display. The operating mode and the number of channels to be scanned are displayed on the main dot-matrix display. The sub dot-matrix display shows the relative S-meter level of each frequency point, vertically.

•To pause Scan, press [DISP]. “P” appears on the main dot-matrix display. While the Visual Scan is paused, you can monitor the paused frequency. Press [DISP] again to resume the Visual Scan.

4To change the current scanning frequency, turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN].

•The displayed frequency changes and the cursor moves.

•Press [1MHz/ SEL] to make the current scanning frequency the new center frequency.

•You can move the frequency using the MAIN control. If you want to revert to the original center frequency, press [FM/ AM/ NAR].

5To quit Visual Scan, press [CLR] or [SCAN/ SG.SEL].

■Changing the Number of Channels to Scan

1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode.

2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu No. 11.

3 Press [+] or [–]to select 31, 61 (default), 91 or

181 channels for the number of channels to scan.

4Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

Note:

◆The current frequency step of the MULTI/ CH control is used for the Visual Scan.

◆While performing the Visual Scan, the DUAL WATCH function {page 47} is temporarily disabled unless you are using the 144 MHz or 430 (440) MHz in FM or AM mode and the Control Band for the main transceiver.

◆If you start the Visual Scan from the frequency on the sub- receiver, the frequency is transferred to the main display, then the Visual Scan starts.

◆If you start the Visual Scan in Memory Recall mode, the memory channel frequencies will be scanned.

◆If the frequency range specified for Program Scan or Program VFO is narrower than the range specified for Visual Scan, the range for Program Scan or VFO will be used for Visual Scan.

◆Visual Scan stops when you transmit.

◆Depending on the transceiver conditions, Visual Scan and the S-meter level may differ.

■Using Visual Scan (Memory Channel)

1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode.

2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu No. 11.

3 Press [+] or [–]to select 31, 61 (default), 91 or

181 channels for the number of channels to scan.

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

5 Press and hold [DISP] for approximately

1 second to start Visual Scan (Memory Channel).

•The center memory channel number is displayed on the main frequency display and the current scanning frequency is displayed on the sub frequency display. The operating mode of the center memory channel and the number of channels to be scanned are displayed on the main dot- matrix display. The sub dot-matrix display shows the relative S-meter level of each frequency point, vertically.
