In search, scan and memory modes this key is used to identify bank 7.
If the sequence [2ndF] [7] is keyed while in memory recall mode or when
stopped on a channel during scan, the displayed frequency will be deleted
from the memory bank and the set will move on to the next memory channel
containing data (upward or downward depending upon how
programmed).
Memory channels are usually deleted one at a time. It is possible however to
delete a selected bank or all banks, this will be further described later in the
manual.
[8] [CH.PASS] Numeric 8 / channel pass key
This key acts as a numeric 8 when entering frequencies via the
keypad.
In search, scan and memory modes this key is used to identify bank 8.
If the sequence [2ndF] [8] is keyed during memory recall mode, the legend
“CH PASS” will appear on the LCD to indicate that the channel has been
LOCKED OUT (passed) so that it will not be automatically scanned but will be
skipped over.
This is useful for temporarily passing busy channels such as amateur band
repeaters or broadcast transmissions. The locked out channel may still be
recalled and monitored in memory recall mode.
To reinstate the locked out channel repeat the key sequence [2ndF] [8] while
the desired channel is being displayed. The legend “CH PASS” will be
removed from the LCD.
[9] [PAUSE] Numeric 9 / Pause key
This key acts as a numeric 9 when entering frequencies via the keypad.
In search, scan and memory modes this key is used to identify bank 9.
If the sequence [2ndF] [9] is keyed the global PAUSE facility will be engaged
and the legend “PAUSE” will be displayed on the LCD. The pause facility is
used in search and scan modes and causes the receiver to wait for a
programmable period before resuming the search or scan process even if the
transmission continues (when the squelch is still open). This can be very
useful should unwanted continually active frequencies be encountered or if
analysing activity.
To program the PAUSE time, key the sequence [2ndF] [9] and hold the [9]
key for more than 1.5 seconds. The pause default is 05 seconds and the
accepted range is between 01 and 99 seconds. The value may be changed by
keying in a two digit number via the numeric keypad, or the UP / DOWN keys
or [DIAL] may be used to change the value in one second increments. Press
[ENT] to accept the new value.
