Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) Operation
To limit scanning (or tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Program-
mable Memory Scanning (PMS) feature, which utilizes special-purpose memory pair (“M-
PL” and “M-PU”). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping you to observe any
operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.
PMS setup is simple to accomplish;
1. Store the upper and lower frequency limits of the desired range into the PMS memory
pair (“M-PL” and “M-PU”).
2. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 3
[
STO, RCL, PMS
]
appears on the display.
3. Press the
(

key. The “PMS” indication will appear at the upper left corner of
the LCD, signifying that the PMS feature is engaged. Tuning and scanning are now
limited within the range between the selected PMS memory pair, keeping operation
inside this programmed range.
Example: Limit tuning & scanning to the frequency range 144.300 - 148.000 MHz
