Memory Channels (Mem Mode); Memory Scanning (Scan Memory); Reception/Transmission During Scan Memory; To Delete/To Jump A Pre-Selected Channel In Memory - Midland RG2W or RG2B User Manual

Similar to scanning of marine channels, Dual Watch and Triple watch stop when a signal
is found and remain blocked for a few seconds after the signal disappears, in order to
give the user a chance to respond to a call, if necessary.
Dual/Triple Watch cannot function correctly if the squelch is not correctly regulated, as
described in par .4.3

Memory scanning (SCAN MEMORY)

1. Similar to the scan function, memory scan will
cycle sequentially through the channels, but
only those, which have been pre-selected (at
least 3).
2. Press the "M/S" function key (Fig. G). The radio emits 2 beeps and "M/S
Sel" appears on the display for about 2 seconds
(Fig. H).
3. Select another channel and repeat the procedure
mentioned above.
In order to eliminate a channel erroneously

inserted into scan cycle, select the channel press and hold the "M/S"
function key until the display shows "M/S Del". (Fig. I) .
4. Once all channels are stored, the scanning can begin (SCAN MEMORY):
Press the function key corresponding to the written "M/S". The channels will
be monitored and the display will show the script "M/S" – which indicates
the scanning of the stored channels, - "Adv" and "Del" in relation to the 2
function keys. Every time a signal/disturb is found on a channel, the
scanning stopps for a few seconds in order to give the user a chance to
respond to the call or to cancel the channel, if necessary.
Note: Scanning does not function correctly if the squelch is not regulated as described in
par.4.3.

Reception/Transmission during SCAN MEMORY

•
Reception: If REGATTA 2 finds a signal the scanning interrupts. The display
indicates "RX" instead of "M/S" and the communication will be received through
the loudspeaker.
•
Transmission: It is possible to transmit at any time, also when the scanning is
active. In that case REGATTA 2 will always transmit on channel 16; if instead
the transmission is done after a signal has been found, the device will transmit
on the previously busy channel. After the transmission the scanning comes
interrupted.

To delete/To jump a pre-selected channel in memory

If during the scanning a signal is received on an undesired or disturbed channel, it is
possible to temporarily cancel the channel or to skip the channel momentarily.
In order to execute these functions, the radio must be syntonized on a channel (firm
scanning). Through the two function keys corresponding to "Adv" and "Del" you will
Fig. H
have the possibility to jump the busy channel respective to cancel it from the pre-
selected list of channels.
There are 4 modes to stop the scanning of channels in memory:
1. By pressing the PTT-button.
2. By pressing the 16 button on the microphone or on the front panel
Fig. I
3. By pressing the C-button.
4. By sending out a DSC-Call.
