SCAN

Scan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring of

your favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortable

with all types of Scan, you will increase your operating

efficiency.

This transceiver provides the following types of scans.

Note:

◆

While using CTCSS in FM mode, Scan stops only for the signals

that contain the same CTCSS tone that you selected.

◆

Pressing Mic

[PTT]

causes Scan to stop.

NORMAL SCAN

When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,

2 types of scanning are available.

• VFO Scan

The transceiver scans the entire frequency range

of the transceiver. For example, if you are

operating and receiving on the transceiver’s VFO

A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans entire frequencies in

the range of 30.00 kHz to 59.999.99 MHz. (Refer

to available VFO frequency range in the

Specifications.)

• Program Scan

By programming the start and end frequency in

Memory channels 90 ~ 99 {page 53}, you can limit

the scanning frequency range. Since there are 10

memory channels (90 ~ 99) available for

specifying the start and end frequency, you can

select one or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to

scan. This is useful when you are waiting for a DX

station on a certain frequency but the station may

appear on a slightly higher or lower frequency.

VFO SCAN

VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is

available for the current VFO. When the Program

Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan

Group is selected for the Program Scan, the

transceiver also scans the entire frequency range

available for the current VFO.

The memory channel numbers 90 ~ 99 have alias

names, “VGROUP”. “VGROUP–0” represents

channel 90, “VGROUP–1” represents channel 91,

“VGROUP–2” represents channel 92, and so on up to

“VGROUP–9” which represents channel 99.

If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are

programmed in VGROUP–0 to 9 (Memory channel

numbers 90 ~ 99 in other words):

1 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) in VFO mode.

• “VGROUP -- n” (where n represents a

VGROUP number from 0 to 9) appears on the

sub-display.

2 Turn the MULTI control to select the Program

Scan memory (VGROUP–0 to VGROUP–9). As

you select the channel, “on” or “oFF” appears on

the frequency display. “on” signifies that the

selected VGROUP is active for the Program Scan

and “oFF” signifies that the selected VGROUP is

inactive for the Program Scan.

Configure all VGROUP channels (VGROUP–0 ~

VGROUP–9) as “oFF” by pressing [ ].

3 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to return

to the current VFO mode.

4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the VFO Scan.

5 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to stop the

VFO Scan.

Note:

◆

While scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the

RIT/ XIT

control. Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise to

decrease/ increase the scan speed. The speed indicator

appears on the sub-display, where P1 is the fastest speed and

P9 is the slowest.

◆

You cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode.

PROGRAM SCAN

Program Scan monitors the range between the start

and end frequencies that you have stored in Memory

channels 90 ~ 99 (VGROUP–0 ~ 9). Refer to

“STORING FREQUENCY RANGES” {page 53} for

details on how to store the start and end frequencies

to Memory channels 90 ~ 99 (VGROUP–0 ~ 9).

You can select a maximum of 10 memory channels

(VGROUP 0 to 9) and sequentially scan the frequency

ranges that you stored in these channels. If the

current VFO frequency falls within the selected

VGROUP frequency range, the Program Scan starts

from the VGROUP number and then continues to

scan the next larger VGROUP number. If the current

VFO frequency is outside all of the VGROUP

frequency ranges, the Program Scan starts from the

smallest VGROUP number that is selected as “on”

(each VGROUP can be set to either “on” or “oFF”).

1 Press [A/B / M/V] to select VFO A or VFO B.

2 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s).

3 Turn the MULTI control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN]

to select the memory channel (VGROUP–0 to

1 2 ... 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 ... 103 104
