DRAKE R8A - Scan Functions; SCAN MEMORY

SCAN FUNCTIONS
The receiver provides nine distinct scan functions which
are programmed with keys 1-6 on the numeric keypad
and indicated in the scan status area of the display.
Keys 1-3 are considered modes.
T- eal Scans all unlocked memory locations.
2-[, "| Scans all unlocked memory locations within
a user selected group or groups of channels.
3 -[, **] Scans from frequency A to frequency B.
Keys 4-6 are considered methoas.
4- Pa Stops scan at first carrier detected.
§-|,™| Stops at detected carrier for five seconds,
then resumes scan.
6 -[,°"| Stops at detected carrier until carrier drops
for five seconds, then resumes scan.
Ascan program therefore consists of any combination of
a mode and method. For example, scanning A to B and
stopping at a detected carrier five seconds, then resum-
ing would be programmed with:
Pad | a and display would indicate
A-B and TIME
Table 3 charts the nine (9) scan functions.

display can be accessed while the receiver is in the
scan mode, but only after the receiver stops on a
station. All other functions are locked out until scan

scan direction. When starting a scan, the direction is
always the same as the last time a scan was ended.
