7.2 MEMORY SCAN
The HX471S 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.
Select the desired band (VHF Marine, FRS, MURS, AM Broadcast, FM Broad-
cast or Air Band) on which you wish to select channels to be scanned.
1. Select the desired channel to be included in the scan memory using the
[
p] or [q] key.
2. Press the [MEM] key to store the channel into
the transceiver’s scan memory. “MEM” will be
displayed on the LCD.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the channels to be
scanned.
4. To delete a channel from the transceiver’s scan memory, select the memo-
rized channel. Press the [MEM] key until “MEM” is removed from the
display.
5. All channels programmed remain in the transceiver’s scan memory even
if the power is turned off. See section 11 “RESETTING THE
TRANSCEIVER’S MICROPROCESSOR” to clear all channels from the
transceiver’s scan memory.
6. Adjust the SQUELCH CONTROL knob until background noise is elimi-
nated.
