or memory channel are monitored alternatively.
5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR].
VISUAL SCAN
While you are receiving, Visual Scan allows you to
monitor frequencies near the current operating
frequency. Visual Scan graphically displays how all
frequencies in the selected range are busy. You will
see a maximum of 7 segments, for each frequency
(channel) point that represent relative S-meter levels.
Determine the scan range by selecting the center
frequency and the number of channels. The default
number of channels is 61.
■ Using Visual Scan (VFO)
1 Select the desired band for Visual Scan.
2 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/
[DWN], to select the operating frequency.
• This frequency will be used as the center
frequency.
3 Press and hold [DISP] for approximately
1 second to start Visual Scan (VFO).
• The center frequency is displayed on the
main frequency display and the current
scanning frequency is displayed on the sub
frequency display. The operating mode and
the number of channels to be scanned are
displayed on the main dot-matrix display.
The sub dot-matrix display shows the
relative S-meter level of each frequency
point, vertically.
• To pause Scan, press [DISP]. “P” appears
on the main dot-matrix display. While the
Visual Scan is paused, you can monitor the
paused frequency. Press [DISP] again to
resume the Visual Scan.
4 To change the current scanning frequency, turn
the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN].
• The displayed frequency changes and the
cursor moves.
• Press [1MHz/ SEL] to make the current
scanning frequency the new center
frequency.
• You can move the frequency using the Tuning
control. If you want to revert to the original
center frequency, press [FM/ AM/ NAR].
5 To quit Visual Scan, press [CLR] or
[SCAN/ SG.SEL].
■ Changing the Number of Channels to Scan
1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode.
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu
No. 11.
3 Press [+]/ [–] to select 31, 61 (default), 91 or
181 channels for the number of channels to
scan.
4 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
Note:
◆ The current frequency step of the MULTI/ CH control is used
for the Visual Scan.
◆ While performing the Visual Scan, the DUAL WATCH
function {page 47} is temporarily disabled unless you are
using the 144 MHz or 430/ 440 MHz in FM or AM mode and
the Control Band for the main transceiver.
◆ If you start the Visual Scan from the frequency on the sub-
receiver, the frequency is transferred to the main display,
then the Visual Scan starts.
◆ If you start the Visual Scan in Memory Recall mode, the
memory channel frequencies will be scanned.
◆ Visual Scan stops when you transmit.
◆ Depending on the transceiver conditions, Visual Scan and
the S-meter level may differ.
■ Using Visual Scan (Memory Channel)
1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode.
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu
No. 11.
3 Press [+]/ [–] to select 31, 61 (default), 91 or
181 channels for the number of channels to
scan.
4 Press [VFO/M] to enter Memory Recall mode.
5 Press and hold [DISP] for approximately
1 second to start Visual Scan (Memory
Channel).
• The center memory channel number is
displayed on the main frequency display
and the current scanning frequency is
displayed on the sub frequency display.
The operating mode of the center memory
channel and the number of channels to be
scanned are displayed on the main dot-
matrix display. The sub dot-matrix display
shows the relative S-meter level of each
frequency point, vertically.
• To pause Scan, press [DISP]. “P” appears
on the main dot-matrix display. While the
Visual Scan is paused, you can monitor the
paused frequency. Press [DISP] again to
resume the Visual Scan.
