Operating Manual

scanning in the specified direction. Advice:

If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the decimal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency display will blink.

If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume in about five seconds.

4.To cancel the scanning, press the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key momentarily.

Advice:

During Memory Group operation, only the channels within the current Memory Group will be scanned.

If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key will cause scanning to resume instantly.

If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT switch during scanning will not cause transmission, however.

You may select the manner in which the scanner resumes while it has paused on a signal, using Menu item “034 GEnE SCN RSM.” During memory scanning, the default “5Sec” setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; you may change it, however, to resume only after the carrier has dropped out, if you like. See page ??.

Quick Point: If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to prohibit the microphone’s [UP]/[DOWN] keys from initiating scanning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item “033 GENE MIC SCN” (set it to “OFF”).

PMS

To limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory Scanning (PMS) feature, which utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“P1L/P1U” through “P9L/P9U”). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.

1.Store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit frequencies into the memory pair “P1L” and “P1U,” respectively, or any other “L/U” pair of memories in the special PMS memory area. See page ?? for details regarding memory storage.
