Receive Scanning

The receive scanning feature allows you to locate active frequencies in the entire band segment. To begin scanning, slowly turn the Squelch control clockwise until the receiver noise disappears. Next, press the scan button. The unit should start scanning from the lower to the higher frequencies. Pressing the Scan button again will change the direction of scanning. Each time the Scan button is pressed, "SCAN+" or "SCAN-"will be displayed on the LCD display. The scan will stop on any active frequency for the duration of the transmission. After the on frequency activity stops, the RCI-2950DX/2970DX-150 will resume scanning after about a 2 second pause. To deactivate the Scan mode, press the MAN (manual) button or turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you hear receiver noise. The MAN button will disable the Scan function. (See FREQUENCY SCANNING, pg. 15 for more information.)

Split Function4

This function enables you to split the transmit and receive frequencies for by a pre-programmed amount. This feature is necessary for operation with FM repeaters. (See OFFSET FREQUENCY OPERATION, pg. 17 for more information). To split frequencies, press the MAN button and the SPLIT button to select + split frequency (transmitter higher than receiver). For - split frequency, press the SPLIT button again (transmitter lower than receiver).
