Scanning; Setting The Scan Resume Behavior; F() Scanning - Yaesu VX-1R Manual

Scanning
The VX-IR allows you to scan just the stored memo-
ries in a band, an entire band, or a selected portion of
a band. It pauses on signals encountered, so you can
talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of
the above modes. Before you begin, take a moment to
select the way you want the scanner to resume scan-
ning after it halts on a signal.
Setting the Scan Resume Behavior
Two Scan-Resume options are available:
• "5 Second Hold"
In this mode, the scanner pauses any signal for 5
seconds. Unless you push a key within that period,
scanning resumes even if a signal is still present.
• "Carrier Drop"
In this mode, the scanner pauses on a signal and
remains there until two seconds after the signal is
gone (the carrier drops because the station ceases
transmission), after which scanning resumes. In the
case of continuous signals like broadcasts, the scan-
ner remains paused indefinitely.
