11 SCAN
CONFIGURING THE PROGRAM SLOW SCAN
FREQUENCY RANGE
The scan time for Program Scan while the transceiver
slows down the scanning on the frequency points for
Program Slow Scan and its adjacent frequency range.
This adjacent frequency range is called the frequency
range, and follow the procedure below to configure the
frequency range for the slow scan frequency.
1 Select Group No. 4, "Memory Channels & Scan", from
the Menu screen.
2 Access Menu 03, "Program Slow Scan Range".
3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5), or rotate the MULTI/CH
control to select "100 [Hz]", or "200 [Hz]", "300 [Hz]",
"400 [Hz]", or "500 [Hz]".
• The default is "300 [Hz]".
• For instance, if "500 [Hz]" is selected, the transceiver slows
down the scanning at the frequency point with the ±500 Hz
frequency range.
5 Press [ ] (F1).
6 Press [MENU] to exit.

MEMORY SCAN

Memory Scan enables the transceiver to change the
preconfigured Memory Channels at certain time intervals
for scanning.
There are two Memory Scans: All Channel Scan that
scans all Memory Channels to which the operating data
has been stored, and Group Scan that scans the selected
and grouped Memory Channels.

STARTING THE SCAN

1 Press [M/V] while in VFO mode to enter Single-band
Memory Channel mode, or press and hold [M/V] to
enter Dual-band Memory Channel mode.
2 Press [SCAN] (F5) to activate the Memory Scan.
• Rotating the MULTI/CH control fast-forwards or fast-
reverses the scanning sequence.
• Pressing [SCAN] (F5) again or pressing [ESC] stops the
Memory Scan.
Note:
◆ Memory Scan stops if the transceiver receives a signal on the main
band or sub band while in Dual-band Memory Channel mode.
◆ The scan time for each frequency during the Memory Scan is
400 ms. However, if the transceiver receives a CTCSS tone in FM
mode, the scan time is extended to 600 ms. "SCANNING" appears
in place of the scan speed.
