Operations
5.1 Scanning Function
This function automatically searches for active frequencies to
help you locate the signal that you wish to receive.
There are two types of the scan-resume conditions; Busy and
Timer. The default is set to Busy.
Switching between those two types can be done in the Set
mode. (See on P.31)
Busy scan
Until the scanned signal is gone, the DJ-X7 continues to
receive it. Then, the DJ-X7 restarts scanning.
Timer scan
Even if the scanned signal is detected and is being received,
the DJ-X7 restarts scanning after 5 seconds.
• The decimal point (.) on the LCD blinks during the operation.
• The scanning can be suspended to open squelch temporarily
by using the Monitor function (see on P.15). Releasing the
function resumes the scanning.
• The scanning direction can be changed by rotating the dial
during the operation. The scanning restarts in the direction of
the last dial operation.
• Press any key other than the [MONI] key to stop scanning.
■VFO scan
In the VFO mode, it scans with the tuning step you specified in
advance throughout the frequencies of the selected band.
1. Press the key to switch to the VFO mode, if
necessary.
2. While holding the key down, rotate the dial to
display "vFo" on the LCD.
3. Release the key.
The scanning will be performed with the specified tuning step
in the direction of the last dial operation (up or down).
4. Rotate the dial in the clockwise direction to scan in the
UP direction. Conversely, rotate the dial in the
counterclockwise direction to scan in the DOWN
direction.
5. Press any key other than the [MONI] key to stop
scanning.
