SCAN OPERATION
■ Scan types
The IC-A15/S has 2 scan types to suit your needs.
■ Frequency scan
q Push [CLR] to select the frequency mode.
w Push [SQLY]/[SQLZ] to set the squelch level to the point
where noise is just disappears.
For the IC-A15
e Push [FUNC], then push [SCAN](2) to start the scan.
• When a signal is received, the scan pauses until the signal dis-
appears.
• To change the scanning direction, push [Y]/[Z].
For the IC-A15S
e Hold down [Y]/[Z] for 1 second to start the scan.
• When a signal is received, the scan pauses until the signal dis-
appears.
• To change the scanning direction, push [Y]/[Z].
r To stop the scan, push [CLR].

often-used channels and
bypassing usually busy
channels such as control-
tower frequencies.
