Preferential Memory Scan - Yaesu FT-2980R Operating Manual

Scanning

Preferential Memory Scan

The FT-2980R also allows you to set up a "Preferential Scan List" of channels which you
can "flag" within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking "SKIP"
icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the Blinking "SKIP" icon
appended, only those channels bearing the Blinking "SKIP" icon will be scanned. If you
initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the Blinking "SKIP" icon appended,
you will scan all channels including those with the Blinking "SKIP" icon appended.
Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [ D/MR ( MW )] key repeated-
ly, if necessary.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the
Preferential Scan List.
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select "47 SKIP".
4. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key, then rotate the DIAL knob so
as to select "ONLY".
5. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
To initiate Preferential Memory Scanning:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [ D/MR ( MW )] key repeated-
ly, if necessary.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select any memory channel
which has a blinking "SKIP" icon appended to the chan-
nel number.
3. Press and hold in either the microphone's [ UP ] or [ DWN ]
button for one second to initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only the channels
which have a blinking "SKIP" icon appended to the channel number will be scanned.
