SCANNING

PROGRAMMABLE BAND-SCAN LIMITS

Besides band and memory scanning, this transceiver can be set to tune or scan only the frequencies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example, you may wish to limit tuning/scanning to 144.3 - 148.0 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW sub- band between 144.0 and 144.3 MHz

These scanning limits are stored in special “Sub-Band Limit Memories,” labeled L0/U0 through L9/U9, with “L” and “U” designations representing the Lower and Upper limits, respectively.

To utilize this feature, use the following steps:

1.Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory “L0”, and the upper edge in memory “U0” (or, alternatively, in memories “L1/U1” through “L9/U9”).

2.With any of these memories recalled, press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to acti- vate the Programmable Band-Scan Limits. The “PMS” icon will appear. Tuning and scanning will now be limited within the just-programmed range.

To cancel the Sub-Band Limits and return to normal memory operation, press the [D/ MR(MW)] key momentarily.
