Scanning Operation

Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only)

Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do

not wish to scan. For example, broadcast signals (which are transmitted continuously) will

cause the scanner to stop, and such channels may be skipped so as to avoid this inconve-

nience.

To remove a channel from the scanning loop:

1. Press the

key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating

Function Row 2

[

MW, MC, TAG

]

appears on the display.

2. Recall the memory channel to be skipped.

3. Press the

(

)

key momentarily. The “hyphen” in the

memory channel number will change to become a “dot”; this

shows that this channel now is not included in the scanning

loop.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary to skip all

the channels you do not wish to scan.

5. Initiate memory scanning; you will observe that the channels

you marked to be skipped are not included in the scanning

loop.

6. Press the PTT switch to stop the scan; you may now use the

knob to step

through the channels manually - one at a time - and you will observe that the “Skipped”

channels are, nonetheless, available for recall by manual means.

7. You may restore a previously-skipped channel to the scanning loop by selecting the

channel manually, then pressing the

(

)

key momentarily so that the “dot” chang-

es to become a “hyphen”.

Scan-Resume Choices

Scanning operation requires that you have the transceiver’s audio squelched. The

transceiver then “assumes” that the opening of the squelch corresponds to the dis-

covery of a signal you may wish to listen to.

Once the scan has been halted, the transceiver pauses on the signal and stays

locked on its frequency for ve seconds (default pause time). Thereafter, scanning

will resume whether or not the other station’s transmission has ended. The scan

resume interval can be set to 3/5/10 seconds, or off ( whereby scanning quits when

a signal is received) via Menu #41 (RESUME); see 60 for details.
