How to Skip a Channel During Memory Scan
Some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station will seriously impede
scanning operation especially if Menu #34 SCAN is set to BUSY, as the incoming signal will not
pause long enough for the FT−8800R to resume scanning.
To skip a channel during scanning:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the key, if necessary.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
3. Set the band for selected Memory Channel to be skipped to the Main band by pressing
the DIAL knob.
4. Press the SET key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #37 SKP.MSM.
6. Press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to SKIP.
7. Press and hold in the DIAL knob for ½ second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation. 0.
This Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The indicator will appear
when you manually recall this skipped memory channel.
