Scanning Features
MEMORY SCANNING
MEMORY “MASKING•
You may want to hide some memories from opera- tion, to simplify selection of others. To mask a displayed memory, while “MEM” is displayed, press and hold in [Au M] for ½ second until the double beep sounds. But be careful: if you do this instead while “M TUNE” is displayed - that is, after retuning the memory, the re- tuned data will overwrite the original memory data, but it will not be masked. So, if you have
Masked memories are also skipped during scan- ning. If you don’t overwrite a masked memory, you can unmask it simply by repeating the same procedure you used to mask it.
SCAN RESUME MODE
There are three choices that determine how scan- ning will respond when activity is detected. Scan re- sume operation is configured by recalling menu selec- tion
Carrier Stop (default) - With the squelch closed, scanning pauses on signal activity, then resumes soon after the carrier disappears. With the squelch open, scanning will not continue unless the receiver is qui- eted again (SQL control).
Carrier Timed Stop - With the squelch closed, scanning pauses on activity, then resumes automati- cally after a preset duration (5 seconds by default), whether signal activity remains or not (time- delay re- sume).
Carrier Timed Slow - With the squelch closed, scanning slows down (but doesn’t stop) for a preset duration (5 seconds by default), when activity is de- tected.
For the Timed Stop and Timed Slow modes, the pause duration can be set between 1 and 10 seconds with menu selection
SCAN SKIP DISABLE
After programming many memories, you may have tagged specific ones to be skipped during scanning. Should you later change your mind and want to scan all of them again, you don’t have to go back and re- enable each tagged one (there’s an easier way!).
