Scanning Operation - Yaesu FT-100D Operating Manual

Scanning Operation
The FT -1 OOD contains a wide variety of scanning capabilities. Whether you are in the
VFO mode or one of the memory modes, scanning operation is fundamentally identical in
all configurations, but with the following differences:
o
In the VFO mode, scanning causes the transceiver to sweep up or down the band,
pausing or halting on any signal encountered;
o
In the QMB mode, the scanner will scan only the QMB memory bank;
o
In the Memory mode, the scanner will scan the programmed memories, and can be
instructed to skip certain memories during scanning;
o
In the Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) mode, the scanner will scan the band
within user-programmed frequency limits.
SCANNING OPERATION
1. Set the SQL knob to the point where background noise is silenced. A typical setting,
for effective scanning operation, will be at 12 o'clock or slightly clockwise from this
position.
2. Set the transceiver into the operating configuration in which you wish to scan (VFO,
Memory, QMB, etc.).
3. Press the [FUNC] key, as needed, to recall Operating Function Row 4 [SKP, SCN,
OW, SCH], then press and hold the [B](SCN)
key for 12 second to start upward scan
(toward higher frequencies or higher memory channel numbers).
~ ~
"',,, You may also press and hold in either the [UP] or [OWN] key on the
~
_ microphone for % second to initiate upward or downward scanning, re-
~
spectively.
4. Rotate the MAIN DIAL or the SELECT knob counterclockwise to toggle the scanning
direction downward.
5. The scanner will now cause the transceiver to increment in the chosen direction until a
signal is detected. When a signal is encountered which opens the Squelch, the scanner
will pause until the signal disappears (at the end of the other station's transmission), at
which point the scanner will resume. While the transceiver is in the "Pause" condition,
the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink. See "Scan-Resume Choices"
on page 81 for details of how to customize the resumption of scanning.
6. Press the PTT switch on the microphone to cancel scanning.
~ ' .'", The VFO scanning speed is determined via
MENU
#04 (SCAN SPEED). See
