6.18 Scan On/Off
When the ‘ ’ icon, ‘PTT’ or ‘CTRL’ is shown left to the current VFO A or B, turn
scan On/Off by the following two ways.
1. Turn scan On/Off by programming a [Scan On/Off]-key.
2. Actively select ‘Menu → Scan → Scan -> Scan On/Off’ to turn it On or Off.
6.19 Roaming On / Off
If necessary, turn roaming On or Off by the following two ways.
1. Turn roaming On/Off by programming a [Roaming On/Off]-key.
2. Actively select ‘Menu → Scan → Scan -> RoamScan On/Off’ to enable/disable
roaming.
Notes: Make sure the ‘Scan List’ is pre-selected before turning on the ‘Scan’ or
‘Roaming’ feature. Otherwise, none of the scan types will be enabled.
The radio will work in VFO A as default when ‘Roaming’ is enabled.
When ‘Roaming’ is enabled, the radio will start to scan all repeater channels
in the ‘scan list’ (TX/RX with different RX- and TX-frequency), and the non-
repeater channels in the ‘scan list’ (RX/TX with same frequency) will not be
scanned. If there is no repeater channel in the scan list, the radio will exit the
roaming after scanning the current ‘scan list’;
When ‘Scan’ is enabled, the radio will open all the receivable channels in the
‘scan list’.
6.20 Pilot tone / Burst tone
Analog repeaters often do require to be activated by sending a so called pilot or
burst tone to the repeater.
To do so, define one of the programmable [P]-keys for one of the supported pilot
tones [700 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1200 Hz, 1400 Hz, 1450 Hz, 1750 Hz or 2100 Hz]. Whenever
you press that preset key the assigned pilot tone will be send. When assigning one
of the burst tones / pilot tones to short press of a programmable [P]-key, the long-
press function will not be available. So best would be to assign pilot tones / burst
tones only to long-press of programmable [P]-keys.
Notes: Firmware versions released prior to October 2022 only support the 1750 Hz
pilot tone.
