BASIC OPERATION

FREQUENCY NAVIGATION

2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry

The keypad of the MH-48A6JDTMF Microphone may be used for direct entry of the operating frequency.

To enter a frequency from the MH-48A6Jkeypad, just press the numbered digits in the proper sequence. There is no “decimal point” key on the MH-48A6Jkeypad. However, there is a short-cut for frequencies ending in zero: press the [#] key after the last non-zero digit.

Examples: To enter 146.520 MHz, press [1] à [4] à [6] à [5] à [2] à [0] To enter 146.000 MHz, press [1] à [4] à [6] à [#]

If you cannot get the radio to accept the frequency entry, it is possible that the channel steps are set to an incompatible value (e.g. if you have 25 kHz steps set, you cannot set a frequency of 146.520 MHz). See page 19 to learn how to change the

channel step size.

3) Scanning

From the VFO mode, press the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] keys momentarily to initiate scanning toward a higher- or lower frequency, respectively. The FT-2800Mwill stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the squelch threshold. The FT-2800Mwill then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the “Resume” mode (Menu “23 SCAN)”; see page 34).

If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of a higher frequency), just rotate the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clockwise direction while the FT-2800Mis scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert to scanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise.

Press the [UP]/[DWN] keys again to cancel scanning. You may also press the PTT button momentarily; scanning will stop, but you will not transmit until you release the PTT button, and press it again.

If you have enabled the “Severe Weather Alert” feature, you will occasionally notice “WX” channels interspersed with the regular channels you are scanning. This

is normal, because your radio is constantly monitoring for weather alerts. See page 17.
