The FT-8800R allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or

a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on

that frequency, if you like.

Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin,

take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning

after it halts on a signal.

Two options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:

TIME: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for

five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within five seconds,

the scanner will resume even if the stations are still active.

BUSY

will resume.
