Scanning Function; Vfo Scan; Memory Channel Scanning - Yaesu FT-70DR Operating Manual

The transceiver supports the following four scanning functions:

• VFO Scan

• Memory Channel Scan
• Programmable Memory Scan ( PMS )
• Memory Bank Scan
• Weather Alert Scan
For additional details on the Programmable Memory Scan ( PMS ) and Memory Bank Scan, refer
to the Advanced Manual which may be downloaded from the Yaesu website.
VFO Scan
VFO scan function scans the frequencies, and detects signals.
1. Press the [ V/M ] key to enter the VFO mode.
2. Press the [ F ] key and then press the [ 2 ]( SCAN ) key.
• Scanning starts toward higher frequencies.
• If the DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is
in progress, the scanning will continue up or
down in frequency according to the direction
of the DIAL Knob rotation.
• If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the back light will turn ON and the decimal point
between the "MHz" and "kHz" digits of the frequency display will blink. Scanning will re-
sume in about five seconds.
3. Press the PTT switch to cancel the scanning.
z If the scan has paused on a signal, rotating the DIAL knob will cause scanning to resume instantly.
z The manner in which the scanner resumes after it has paused on a signal may be selected within
approx. 0.1 sec - 10 sec by using the Set Mode [ 53 SCN.STR ] (
z When turning the transceiver OFF while scanning, turning the transceiver ON, will cause scanning to resume.
z To set the transceiver action when scanning stops, see "Setting the Receive Operation When
Scanning Stops" on page (
z The following Set Modes allow scanning only the frequencies within the set band frequency range.
The Set Mode [ 49 SCM.WTH ] the frequency range on memory scanning (
The Set Mode [ 50 SCV.WTH ] the frequency range on VFO scanning (

Memory Channel Scanning

The receiver may be set to scan memory channels:
1. Recall a memory channel to begin memory scanning.
2. Press the [ F ] key and then press the [ 2 ]( SCAN ) key.
• Scanning starts toward higher memory channel numbers.
• If the DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the scanning will contin-
ue up or down in frequency according to the direction of the DIAL Knob rotation.
• If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the back light will turn ON and the decimal point
between the "MHz" and "kHz" digits of the frequency display will blink. Scanning will
resume in about five seconds.
3. Press the PTT switch to cancel the scanning.
If the scan has paused on a signal, rotating the DIAL knob will cause scanning to resume next
memory channel.
