SCAN
Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies.
Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating
efficiency.
This transceiver provides the following type of scans:
Band Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band.
Program Scan
Scans the specified frequency ranges stored in Memory
channels L0/U0 ~ L2/U2.
Memory Scan Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.
CALL Scan
Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO
frequency or Memory channel.
Priority Scan
Checks the activities on the Priority channel (Pr) every
3 seconds.
Note:
◆
When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver stops at a busy frequency
and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiver
unmutes. Otherwise, it resumes scanning.
◆ Press and hold [MONI] to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency.
Release [MONI] to resume scanning.
◆ Pressing [MENU] causes scan to stop.
◆ If you press any key other than the following keys during scan, the transceiver exits scan
(excluding Priority Scan): [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL], [F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP].
BAND SCAN
The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For
example, if you are operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the
frequencies available for the 2 m band. When the current VFO receiving
frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 38}, the
transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.
1 Press [VFO].
2 Rotate the ENC control to select the frequency outside of the Program Scan
frequency range.
3 Press [VFO] (1s).
• Scan starts at the current frequency.
• The 1 MHz point blinks while scanning is in progress.
• To change the scan direction, rotate the ENC control clockwise or
counterclockwise .
4 To exit Band Scan, press any key other than [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL],
[F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP].
