ROGRAMMABLE
This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.
For example, you might with to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of
the band below 144.300 MHz. Here's how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store 144.300 MHz into Memory Channel #L1
(the "L" designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U U U U U 1 (the "U" designates the Upper
sub-band limit).
4. Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key once, then rotate the DIAL knob
to select Memory Channel # L1
5. Press and hold in the [ SCN ] key for 1/2 second to start PMS operation; the "MT
will be appears on the display. Tuning and scanning (engaged by pressing the [ SCN ]
key momentarily ) will now be limited within the just-programmed range.
6. Ten pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1
therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.
