Preferential Memory Scan
The

also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you
can “ag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “

When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the blinking “


appended, only those channels bearing the blinking “

initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the blinking “
