1. To SCAN all memories.
(Not
what
you
would
normally
do,
you
would
normally
want
to
listen
to
a
specific
type
of
activity.
It
is
however
a
good
starting
point).
Press SCAN
The
receiver
starts
scanning
all
programmed
memory
channels,
it
will
not
try
to
scan
un-occupied
channels.
It
could
potentially
take
a
long
time
to
complete
its
full
scan
if
you
have
programmed
all
the
1000
memory
channels,
even
though
the
receivers
scan
process
is
very
rapid.
You
need
to
set
the
squelch
to
cancel
the
background
noise
before
the
set
is
free
to
scan.
The
receiver
finds
it
difficult
to
differentiate
between
weak
signals
and
background
noise
so
careful
and
continuous
re-adjustment
of
the
squelch
control
may
be
necessary.
Problems with scanning
If
for
some
reason
your
receiver
refuses
to
scan
the
bank
you
want
an
instead
Jumps
to
another
bank,
you
have
probably
accidentally
used
PROGRAM
BANK
SCAN.
To
clear
the
apparent
problem
key
in
the
following:
SCAN - BANK - PROG - 0 - LIMIT - 9 - ENTER
2. Program BANK SCAN.
When
you
grow
tired
of
scanning
all
memory
channels
you
can
specify
the
start
point.
SCAN
BANK
(bank
number)
Example: To start scanning at memory BANK 5
SCAN - BANK - 5
The
receiver
will
start
at
bank
5
but
will
then
move
onto
bank
6
then
bank
7
etcetera
until
all
1000
channels
have
been
scanned
and
the
receiver
starts
back
on
bank
5
again.
To PROGRAM a specific SCAN BANK.
SCAN
BANK
PROG
{start
bank
number)
LIMIT
(end
bank
number)
ENTER
Example: To SCAN between BANK 1 and BANK 5
SCAN
-
BANK
-
PROG
-
1
-
LIMIT
-
5-
ENTER
In
the
same
way
you
can
program
the
receiver
to
scan
only
one
bank,
maybe
BANK
1
where
you
may
have
programmed
VHF
airband
frequencies.
Example:
SCAN
-
BANK
-
PROG
-
1
-
LIMIT
-
1
-
ENTER
This
effectively
has
excluded
banks
0,
2,
3,
to
9
without
actually
locking
them
out
and
is
the
preferred
method
of
programmed
bank
scan.
