MEMORY SKIP SCANNING
When you have some continuously-active channels in memories, you may wish to skip
them for scanning, but still have them available for manual selection.
To mask a memory to be skipped (only) during scanning, use the following procedure:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the
[
D/MR

key repeatedly,
as necessary, until “MR” and a channel number appear on the right side of the display.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be
skipped during scanning.
3. Press and hold in the
[

key for one second, then
rotate the DIAL knob to select “
47 SKIP47 SKIP

4. Press the
[

(
SET
)]
key, then rotate the DIAL knob so
as to select “

SKIPSKIP

for “Preferential Memory Scan,” described in the next sec-
tion.
5. Press and hold in the
[
MHz
(

key for one second to save the new setting and exit

recalling the currently-blocked channel (the “Skipped” channel is accessible via manual
channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the Memory mode, whether or not it is
locked out of the scanning loop).
