Walter Drake SW8 - Manual (Page 20)

14 Scan Functions
The SW8 provides a time scan function of programmed
memory channels using the
F
button and
SCAN
MEM
button. Scan will begin and end within a 10
channel block of programmed memory channels as
indicated by the most significant digit of the selected
memory channel number.
The receiver will stop at each programmed memory
channel within the block for 5 seconds and then
increment to the next memory channel. Memory
channels that are programmed to be skipped will not
be scanned. The ‘SCAN’ symbol will be displayed for
the duration of the scan action. Scanning will continue
until the
SCAN
MEM
button is pressed again.
Example for SCAN:
Suppose that memory channels 30 through 39 are
programmed and it is desired to scan these channels.
To initiate the scan action,
Press the
SCAN
MEM
button followed by the two-digit
channel number entry (can enter 30 through 39 for this
example).
Press the
F
button followed by
SCAN
MEM
. The receiver
will begin scanning from the selected memory channel
and continue scanning in sequence: ‘30’ - ‘31’ - ‘32’ -
etc.
Press the
SCAN
MEM
button to stop the scanning action.
Note that if channels 29 and 40 were stored, they
would not be included in a scan of the channels starting
with a ‘3’ as the most significant digit of the channel
number.

MEMORY CHANNEL SKIP
A memory channel can be skipped for scan operations.
While in the MEMORY mode, press the
SKIP
button.
The display will indicate that the ‘SKIP’ function has
been stored for that particular memory channel
number. An ‘S’ will be displayed to the right of the
memory channel number on the display. Repeat the
same sequence as described to remove the ‘SKIP’
function from a memory channel number.
Example for MEMORY CHANNEL ‘SKIP’:
Refer to the previous example on this page. Suppose it
is desired to skip the memory channel number ‘34’
from the scan action:
From the normal variable frequency tuning and
reception mode (VFO) or from the Memory mode,
press the
SCAN
MEM
button followed by the two-digit
number ‘34’.
Press the
SKIP
button. An ‘S’ will illuminate to the right
of the displayed ‘34’. When the scan action is initiated,
all channel numbers 30 through 39, except 34, will be
scanned. Note that the memory contents of channel
34 still remain, it is skipped over only in the scan
sequence.
To allow channel 34 to again be included in the scan
sequence,
Press the
SCAN
MEM
button followed by the two-digit
number ‘34’.
Press the
SKIP
button to remove the ‘SKIP’ function
from channel 34 for this example. The ‘S’ indicator in
the display will turn off.
