SCANNING

MEMORY SCANNING

Memory scanning is also easy to initiate:

1.Set the radio to the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode by pressing the key, if neces- sary.

2.Press and hold in the key, then rotate the DIAL knob while holding in the

key (the current Memory Scan mode will appear on the fre-

quency display) to select the desired Memory Scan mode. Available selections are ALL CHANNEL, TAG1, TAG2, BAND, and PMS-X. ALL CHANNEL:The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.

TAG1: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same first digit of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.

TAG2: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same first and second digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.

BAND: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized on the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.

PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS frequency pair. See page 68 for details.

3.Release the key to start scanning.

4.As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-Re- sume mode set previously. When there are no memory channels corresponding to the selected Memory Scan mode, the “MS ERR” notation will appear on the display.

5.To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or key.

You may initiate the scanning in the previously selected Memory Scan Modeby pressing and holding either or key for one second.
