+/-

band of gradually rising bars on the LCD

Scanning Channels

You may want to keep in contact with
several vessels in your immediate area at the
same time. For this purpose, the scan feature is
available. You can program up to ten channels
from any combination of USA, International, or
Canadian bands into memory. Whenever a
transmission is received, the scan will stop at
that channel until the transmission ends and
then move on until it recognizes another
transmission. You cannot scan weather
channels since they broadcast continually and
do not allow a break in transmission for the
scan to move to the next channel. You can
utilize the WX Alert feature to monitor for
severe weather conditions.

To scan channels:

1. Before activating the scan feature you must

program at least two channels into memory. You

can do this by pressing the U/I/C key to select the

desired channel band and then use the

UP/DOWN arrow keys to select channels in that

band. Press the MEM key to place the displayed

channel in the scan memory. (Figure 7)

2. Repeat this process for the desired channels.

3. Press the SCAN key to begin the scanning

process. Pressing the SCAN key again will stop

the scanning process.
