[SCAN] [BANK] - scan / memory recall / search bank preview key
When the [SCAN] key is pressed briefly, the receiver enters MEMORY
RECALL mode, the display legend “BANK” appears on the top left of
LCD along with bank and channel number. The receiver monitors whatever
frequency is displayed on the LCD. The numeric keypad may be used to recall
a specific memory channel between 000 - 049, 100 - 149, 200 - 249 etc up to
949. Alternatively the UP / DOWN keys may be used to sequence through
MEMORY CHANNELS WHICH CONTAIN DATA ONLY, the [DIAL] may also
be rotated with the same effect.
When [SCAN] is pressed a second time (this means pressing while “BANK” is
displayed), the receiver returns to MANUAL mode and the memory data is
transferred to VFO where it may be monitored or used as the starting point to
tune from. To return to MANUAL mode without transferring the memory
contents press [MANU] instead.
When [SCAN] is pressed a second time (this means pressing while “BANK” is
displayed) and held for more than 1.5 seconds, the receiver enters scan
mode and starts looking for active frequencies in the currently selected
memory bank(s). Alternatively the [UP] or [DOWN] keys may be pressed and
held for more than 1.5 seconds at this point to initiate the scan process.
If a busy channel is located, the scan process will wait until the channel clears
before continuing. You may force the scan process to continue or reverse in
direction by using the UP / DOWN keys or [DIAL].
The sequence [2ndF] [SCAN] (in other words the selection of [BANK]) has
three different effects depending upon the operational mode of the receiver at
the time the sequence is keyed.
Manual mode
If the sequence [2ndF] [BANK] is keyed in manual mode, the legend “BANK”
is displayed on the top left corner of the LCD along with a bank number. The
bank number represents the current MEMORY BANK where you wish data to
be stored during memory write, the receiver automatically increments to the
first available empty location in the bank selected. Use the UP/ DOWN keys or
[DIAL] to select the memory bank starting point for memory write, to accept
the selection press [ENT].
This sequence is not essential as the bank may always be specified during
memory write, however this facility may increase the speed of data entry at
critical times when there is plenty of interesting activity to save in the memory
banks.
Search mode
If the sequence [2ndF] [BANK] is keyed in search mode, the legend “BANK” is
displayed on the top left corner of the LCD along with a bank number. The
upper and lower limits of program search are displayed along with the legends
