VX-2R OPERATING MANUAL50
MEMORY SCANNING
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the
[
V/M
]
key, if necessary.
2. Press and hold in the
[
BAND
]
key for one second, and rotate the DIAL knob while
holding in the
[
BAND
]
key to select the desired Memory Scan mode. Available selec-
tions are ALL CH, BAND, and PMS-X.
ALL CH: The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.
BAND: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized on
the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.
PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS fre-
quency pair. See page 52 for details.
3. Release the
[
BAND
]
key to initiate scanning.
4. As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-Re-
sume mode set previously.
5. To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or
[
V/M
]
key.
Temporary Memory Skip
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a channel due to temporary noise or interference, you
can temporarily mark it to be skipped (except for Memory Channel “1”). The channel will
be skipped until you manually stop the scan (by pressing the PTT switch, for example).
To skip a channel temporarily, press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
BAND
]
key while the
scanner has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instantaneously re-
sume, and that channel will not be scanned during this scanning session.
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 and hold the
[
H/L
]
key for one second to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 39: SKIP.
4. Press the
[
H/L
]
key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select “SKIP.” The current Memory Channel will now
be ignored during scanning. The “ONLY” selection is used for “Preferential Memory
Scan,” described in the next column.
6. When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the setting and exit to
normal operation.
