SCAN

Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies.

Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating

efficiency.

This transceiver provides the following type of scans:

Band Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band.

Program Scan

Scans the specified frequency ranges stored in Memory

channels L0/U0 ~ L2/U2.

Memory Scan

Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.

CALL Scan

Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO

frequency or Memory channel.

Priority Scan

Checks the activities on the Priority channel (Pr) every

3 seconds.

Note:

◆ When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver stops at a busy frequency

and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiver

unmutes. Otherwise, it resumes scanning.

◆ Press and hold [MONI] to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency.

Release [MONI] to resume scanning.

◆ Pressing [MENU] causes scan to stop.

◆ If you press any key other than the following keys during scan, the transceiver exits scan

(excluding Priority Scan): [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL], [F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP].

BAND SCAN

The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For

example, if you are operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the

frequencies available for the 2 m band. When the current VFO receiving

frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 38}, the

transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.

1 Press [VFO].

2 Rotate the ENC control to select the frequency outside of the Program Scan

frequency range.

3 Press [VFO] (1s).

• Scan starts at the current frequency.

• The 1 MHz point blinks while scanning is in progress.

• To change the scan direction, rotate the ENC control clockwise <upward scan> or

counterclockwise <downward scan>.

4 To exit Band Scan, press any key other than [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL],

[F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP].
