PREFERENTIAL MEMORY SCAN

The VX-8Ralso 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 “W” icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List. When you initiate memory scanning on a channel with the blinking “W” icon appended, only those channels bearing the blinking “W” icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the blinking “W” icon appended, you will scan all channels including those with the blinking “W” icon appended.

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

1.	Recall the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the
	Preferential Scan List.
2.	Press and hold the		key for one second to enter the Set
	Mode.
3.	Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 55: MEMORY
	SKIP.
4.	Press the	key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
	Mode Item.
5.	Rotate the DIAL knob to select “ONLY”.
6.	Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and
	exit to normal operation.
