11 SCAN
70
◆ When the current channel is outside all the groups that you
selected, Scan starts with the group number that is larger than
and closest to the group number of the current channel.
◆ Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT
functions.
CALL SCAN
A Call channel can be stored for each operating
band, such as HF, 50 MHz, 144 MHz, 430 (440) MHz
and 1.2 GHz (TS-2000 Optional) bands. You can
monitor one of these Call channels and the current
operating frequency alternatively.
1 Select the frequency you want to monitor.
• In VFO mode, press [A/B] to select VFO A or B
for the main transceiver or press [SUB] or
[CTRL] to select the sub-receiver VFO. Then,
turn the Tuning control or the MULTI/ CH
control to select the desired frequency.
• In Memory Recall mode, press [VFO/ M] to
select the memory channel you want to monitor
by turning the MULTI/ CH control.
2 Press [CALL/ C.IN] to recall the Call channel for
the frequency band.
3 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL].
4 The Call channel and the selected VFO frequency
or memory channel are monitored alternatively.
5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR].
VISUAL SCAN
While you are receiving, Visual Scan allows you to
monitor frequencies near the current operating
frequency. Visual Scan graphically displays how all
frequencies in the selected range are busy. You will
see a maximum of 7 segments, for each frequency
(channel) point that represent relative S-meter levels.
Determine the scan range by selecting the center
frequency and the number of channels. The default
number of channels is 61.
■ Using Visual Scan
1 Select the desired band for Visual Scan.
2 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/
[DWN], to select the operating frequency.
• This frequency will be used as the center
frequency.
3 Press and hold [DISP] for approximately
1 second to start Visual Scan.
• The current center frequency is displayed
on the main frequency display and the
current scanning frequency is displayed on
the sub frequency display. The operating
mode and the number of channels to be
scanned are displayed on the main dot-
matrix display. The sub dot-matrix display
shows the relative S-meter level of each
frequency point, vertically.
• To pause Scan, press [DISP]. “P” appears
on the main dot-matrix display. Press
[DISP] again to resume the Visual Scan
4 To change the current scanning frequency, turn
the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN].
• The displayed frequency changes and the
cursor moves.
• Press [1MHz/ SEL] to make the current
scanning frequency the new center
frequency.
• You can move the frequency using the
MAIN control. If you want to revert to the
original center frequency, press [FM/ AM/
NAR].
5 To quit Visual Scan, press [CLR] or [SCAN].
■ Selecting the Number of Channels to Scan
1 Press [MENU] to enter Menu mode.
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Menu
No. 11.
3 Press [+] or [–] to select 31, 61 (default), 91 or
181 channels for the number of channels to
scan.
4 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
Note:
◆ The current frequency step of the MULTI/ CH control is used
for the Visual Scan.
◆ While performing the Visual Scan, the DUAL WATCH
function {page 47} is temporarily disabled unless you are
using the 144 MHz or 430 (440) MHz in FM or AM mode and
the Control Band for the main transceiver.
◆ If you start the Visual Scan from the frequency on the sub-
receiver, the frequency is transferred to the main display,
then the Visual Scan starts.
◆ If you start the Visual Scan in Memory Recall mode, the
memory channel frequencies will be scanned.
◆ If the frequency range specified for Program Scan or
Program VFO is narrower than the range specified for Visual
Scan, the range for Program Scan or VFO will be used for
Visual Scan.
◆ Visual Scan stops when you transmit.
◆ Depending on the transceiver conditions, Visual Scan and
the S-meter level may differ.
