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 the [ SCN ] key to initiate scanning.
3. 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-Resume
mode set previously.
4. To cancel scanning, press the [ SCN ] key again (or press the microphone's PTT key).

How to Skip (Omit) a Channel During Memory Scan Operation

Some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station 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. Set the radio to the Memory Mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key, if necessary.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
3. Set the band which is 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 "Main" band DIAL knob to select Menu #37 (SKP.MSM).
6. Press the "Main"" band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL
knob to "SKIP." The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The
small " " icon will also appear when you recall the "skipped" memory channel
manually.
The "MSM" selection is used for "Preferential Memory Scan," described in
the next column.
7. To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select "OFF" in step 5 above (the "Skipped"
channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using
the DIAL knob in the MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
