Preferential Memory Scan
The
FT-252
also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you
can “ag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “

”
icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the blinking “

” icon
appended, only those channels bearing the blinking “

” icon will be scanned. If you
initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the blinking “

” icon appended, you
will scan all channels including those with the blinking “
