Chapter 4 Scanning
Programmed Scan
This function scans an user-specifi ed range of
frequencies. Before using this function, you need to
specify the upper and lower frequency limits for
programmed-scanning. These frequencies are called
“Programmed scan channels”, and are available a
pair in VFO A and VFO B separately. By referring to
Page 60, set the upper and lower limit frequencies in
the P1 and P2 channels of the memory-bank A for
VFO-A, the bank B for VFO-B operations. The P1/
P2 channels are not available in the Blank memory
bank. The “P” on the display fl ashes during the
Programmed Scan.
NOTE: • The tuning step and modulation mode of the Program scan function are the same as
those set for the VFO at moment of scanning.
• The modulation mode stored in P1/P2 memories are always disregarded for
programmed scan but P1/P2 channels can be used also as normal "memory channels"
for memory operation.
Search Scans
This search mode is convenient to high-speed scan pre-determined width of frequency
regardless of the band of operation.
Suppose the selected range is 100 kHz in the Set mode, and current frequency is 7.102.83
MHz. By activating this function, it scans between 7.100.00 and 7.199.99 MHz shown as
the range B below. Press [UP] key during the scan to move up to the next 100 kHz range
that is C, or [DOWN] key to scan the range A. Setting 200 kHz in the Set mode scans
both A and B, and pressing [UP] key will move to scan C and D range in this case. The “S”
on the display fl ashes during the Search Scan. Press PTT to stop scanning.

Memory scan
This scan searches for signals in programmed memory channels by numerical order. •
Unprogrammed memory channels will be skipped. •
It scans only programmed memory channels. Pressing the [ Ÿ] key or the microphone’s
[UP] key will scan upwards and pressing the [ ź] key or the microphone’s [DOWN] key
will scan downwards through the channels.
