INFORMATION
What happens when you rotate the tun- ing dial during scanning?
While scanning—
Scanning direction is changed. Example:
If you rotate [DIAL] counterclockwise while scanning up (frequency/memory channel number increase), scan changes to down scanning (fre- quency/memory channel number de- crease).
While pausing—
Scanning starts again (pause is can- celled).
1. Set receive mode
Set any receive mode EXCEPT USB, LSB and CW.
The squelch control activates for RF gain control while USB, LSB, or CW mode is selected. RF gain control does not activate for audio noise muting, therefore, the receiver is in a busy condition at all times. In such case, searching speed is either very slow or searching doesn’t even start.
2.Set the volume and squelch levels
Set [VOL] to a suitable audio output level.
Set [SQL] so that the noise audio is just muted.
