To scan all three favourite channels, press 3CH then immediately press and hold

 

SCAN for at least 1.5 seconds. The radio goes into PSCAN mode; automatically

 

scanning the three favourite channels (and the priority channel once every 4

 

seconds). The screen shows the SCAN symbol, channel band, and the channel

 

being scanned.

 

To scan all channels within a channel band, select a channel that is not a favourite

 

then press and hold SCAN for at least 1.5 seconds. The radio goes into ALL SCAN

 

mode, automatically scanning about 7 channels per second (and the priority

 

channel once every 4 seconds). See Section 2.3.7 for an example.

 

To lock out an“always busy”channel when in ALL SCAN mode, press SKIP when the

 

radio stops at that channel, An X appears for one second on the screen to indicate

 

a locked out channel and then scanning resumes. Note that it is not possible to skip

 

over the priority channel. See Section 2.3.8 for an example.

 

When a signal is received in either PSCAN or ALL SCAN mode, scanning stops at

 

that channel. The screen shows Rx and the signal strength. If the signal ceases for

 

more than 4 seconds, the scan restarts.

 

To cancel scanning, press SCAN again. Note that pressing 88/9 (the priority

 

channel) also cancels scanning.

+ CH -

Channel Select. Also on the microphone. The current channel is shown on the

 

screen in big digits.

 

Press + or - repeatedly to step through the available channels one at a time, or

 

hold down to scroll rapidly through the available channels at about 7 channels per

 

second. See Appendix C for channel band frequencies.

REJ

Noise Rejection. Press REJ to activate the noise blanker circuit and reduce noise

 

(e.g. from the engine spark plugs or alternator). The screen shows REJ to indicate

 

that the noise blanker circuit is on. See Section 2.3.4 for an example.

LOC

Local Mode. Microphone only. Press to select Local mode. This reduces the receiver

 

sensitivity and noise. The screen shows LOC to indicate that Local mode is active.

 

Local mode can be useful in areas of high radio noise; for example, close to cities.

 

Local mode is not recommended for use in open sea conditions.

 

Press LOC again to return to normal sensitivity.

BAT

Battery Readout. Press BAT to display the voltage of the battery supplying the

 

radio in big digits on the screen; e.g.12.6V is displayed as 12, then after 1 second,

 

the display changes to .60. This cycle is repeated twice then the radio returns you

 

to the most recent mode. See Section 2.3.5 for an example.

SKIP

Lockout a Channel. You can use this only in ALL SCAN mode, if desired, to skip

 

over a channel that is always busy.

 

When the busy channel is displayed on the screen, press SKIP to lock it out. The

 

X symbol appears on the screen for one second by the channel number, then

 

scanning resumes. See Section 2.3.8 for an example. You can lock out a maximum

 

of 5 channels and the radio will remember them at startup.
