This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.
For example, you might with to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to 148.000
MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the band
below 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the
[
V/M
(
MW
)]
key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store 144.300 MHz into Memory Channel #
L1L1
L1L1
L1 (the
“L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 146.000 MHz into Memory Channel #
U1U1
U1U1
U1 (the “U” designates the Upper
sub-band limit).
4. Press and hold in the
[
SCAN
(
SEL
)]
key for 1/2 sec-
ond, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired PMS
frequency pair (
PMSxxPMSxx
PMSxxPMSxx
PMSxx).
5. Press the
[
SCAN
(
SEL
)]
key to start scanning within
the just-programmed range. The “
VFOVFO
VFOVFO
VFO” label will be
replaced by “
P-xxP-xx
P-xxP-xx
P-xx”. Tuning and scanning will now be
limited within the just-programmed range.

U1U1
U1 through
L50L50
L50L50
L50/

U50 are available. You
therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.
7. To exit to normal operation, press and hold in the
[
SCAN

key for 1/2 second.
