FT-8800R Operating Manual

Preferential Memory Scan

The FT-8800R also 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 “ ” icon when
you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.

When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the “ ” icon appended,
only those channels bearing the “

” icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a

channel which does not have the “ ” icon appended, you will scan all channels including
those with the “ ” icon appended.

Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1. Press the [V/M] key momentarily to enter the Memory Recall mode, if you are not using

memories already.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the channel which you wish to add to the Preferential

Scan List.

3. Set the “side” on which you selected the desired Memory Channel (in the previous step)

to be the “Main” band by pressing the DIAL knob.

4. Press the [SET] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
5. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to select Menu #37 (SKP.MSM).
6. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob

to “MSM.” The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning.

7. To remove a channel from the Preferential Scan List, select “OFF” in step 6 above.

To initiate Preferential Memory Scan:
1. Press the [SET] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to select Menu #35 (SCAN M).
3. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob

to “MSM.”

4. Press and hold in the “Main” band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and

exit to normal operation.

5. Now, press the [SCN] key momentarily to initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only

the channels which have the “ ” icon appended to the channel number will be scanned.

6. To cancel the Preferential Memory Scanning, select “MEM” in step 3 above.
