VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL58
SCANNING
VFO SCANNING
This mode allows you to scan the entire current operating band.
1. Select the VFO mode by pressing the key, if necessary..
2. Press the key, then press the key to start scanning.
3. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink
during this “Pause” condition.
4. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
5. To cancel scanning, press the PTT or key..
When you start scanning, the VX-7R will be changing frequency in the up-
ward direction. If you want to change direction of the scan while it is under-
way, rotate the DIAL one click in the opposite direction (in this case, one click
counter-clockwise). You’ll see the scanner turn around and change frequency down-
ward!
You may change the scanning operation so that the VFO frequency will jump to the low
band edge of the next band when the VFO frequency reaches the high edge of the current
band (or vice versa). See page 95 regarding Menu Item (Misc Setup #10 VFO MODE).
MEMORY SCANNING
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the key, if necessary..
2. Press the key, then press the key to initiate scanning.
3. As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-Re-
sume mode set previously.
4. To cancel scanning, press the PTT or key..
On the “Sub” band, Memory Channel scan will search through only the memory
channels which are stored inside the amateur bands.
