SCANNING

PREFERENTIAL MEMORY SCAN

The FT-2800Malso allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you can “flag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “SKIP” icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.

When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the Blinking “SKIP” icon appended, only those channels bearing the Blinking “SKIP” icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the Blinking “SKIP” icon appended, you will scan all channels including those with the Blinking “SKIP” icon appended.

Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:

1.Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key repeatedly, if necessary.

2.Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List.

3.Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select “25 SKIP.”

4.Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob so as to select “ONLY.”

5.Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

To initiate Preferential Memory Scanning:

1.Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key repeatedly, if necessary.

2.Rotate the DIAL knob to select any memory channel which has a Blinking “SKIP” icon appended to the channel number.

3.Press and hold either the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] button for one second to initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only the channels which have a Blinking “SKIP” icon appended to the channel number will be scanned.
