7.2 MEMORY SCAN
The HX500S can be programmed to scan channels from a minimum of 2
channels up to all channels in the marine band. If an incoming signal is
detected on one of the channels during scan, the radio will pause on that
channel, allowing you to listen to the incoming transmission.

from the speaker is turned off.
2. Select the desired channel to be included in the
scan memory using the [S] or [T] key.

transceiver’s scan memory. “MEM” will be dis-
played on the LCD.

lowest to the highest programmed channel and stops scanning when a
transmission is received. Scanning will resume when the incoming signal
disappears at the end of the transmission. A small “SCAN” icon is shown
on the display during scanning.
7. To stop the scan, press the [SCAN] key.
