MEMORY SCAN
VFO AND MEMORY SCANNING
1. Set the transceiver up in the memory mode by pressing
the
[
V/M
]
button, if necessary.
2. Rotate the Main
[
SQL
]
knob so that the background
noise is just silenced.
3. Press the
[
M CH
]
button momentarily.
When you press the
[
M CH
]
button, the Red LED im-
bedded within the switch should light up, indicating
that you are ready to choose a channel into which to
store the data.
ADVICE:
If the Red LED imbedded in the
[
M CH
]
button does
not light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp to
the right of the
[
SUB VFO-B
]
knob is not illuminated.
If it is, press the
[
A/B
]
button to make it go out, then
press the
[
M CH
]
button again.
4. Press and hold in the microphone’s
[
UP
]
or
[
DWN
]
key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified
direction.
ADVICE:
If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the deci-
mal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of
the frequency display will blink.
If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will re-
sume in about five seconds.
5. To cancel the scanning, press the microphone’s
[
UP
]
or
[
DWN
]
key momentarily.
ADVICE:
During Memory Group operation, only the channels
within the current Memory Group will be scanned.
If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the
microphone’s
[
UP
]
or
[
DWN
]
key will cause scanning
to resume instantly.
If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scan-
ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT
switch during scanning will not cause transmission,
however.
You may select the manner in which the scanner re-
sumes while it has paused on a signal, using Menu item
“039 GEnE SCN RSM.” The default “5Sec” setting
will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five
seconds; you may change it, however, to resume only
after the carrier has dropped out, if you like See page
116.

phone using Menu item “038 GEnE MIC SCN” (set it to
