Memory Scanning
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1. Select the Memory mode by pressing the
[
V/M
]
key, if necessary.
2. Press and hold in either the
[
p
]
or
[
q
]
key for one second to initiate upward or
downward scanning, respectively.
3. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink
during this “Pause” condition.
4. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
5. To cancel scanning, press the
PTT
switch.
How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-
tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-
Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to
resume scanning. Such channels may be “Skipped” during scanning, if you like:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]
/
[
q
]
key to select Set Mode Item 38:
SKIP
.
4. Press the
[
SET/ATS
]
key momentarily enter the “Skip” channel-selection mode.
5. Rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]
/
[
q
]
key to select
“
SKIP
”. The current Memory Channel will now be ig-
nored during scanning. The “
ONLY
” selection is used for
“Preferential Memory Scan,” described in the next sec-
tion.
6. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch to save the setting and
exit to normal operation.
When you recall the “skipped” memory channel manually, a
small “
” icon will appear at the left of the memory channel
number, indicating it is to be ignored during scanning.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “
OFF
”
in step 5 above (the “Skipped” channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual
channel selection methods using the
DIAL
knob in the MR mode, whether or not it is
locked out of the scanning loop).
