PROGRAM SEARCH
This function tunes the receiver through all frequencies between two specified frequency
•
limits in the predetermined step size, looking for active frequencies.
The search instructions may be programmed into "search banks".
•
There are 40 search banks, numbered from 00 to 39.
•
Search banks can be searched either individually or in a group of linked banks.
•
There are 10 search groups, numbered from 00 to 09.
•
It is crucial to correctly set the SQUELCH level for the search function to operate. To set
•
the squelch, tune the receiver to an inactive frequency, then increase the squelch level
just up to the point where the noise is muted. The squelch should open only when a
signal is active on the frequency.
Note: Search mode is extremely effective for AM & NFM use in the VHF and UHF bands.
Searching the shortwave bands is usually ineffective due to the relatively high
background noise.
