Smart Search Operation - Yaesu VX-1R Manual

Smart Search Operation
Smart Search automatically stores the frequencies
where activity is encountered on the selected band.
When Smart Search is engaged, the radio quickly
searches above and below your current frequency,
storing active frequencies as it goes (without stop-
ping on them even momentarily). These frequencies
are stored in a special Smart Search memory bank,
consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current
frequency, 15 below the current frequency, and the
current frequency itself).
Two Smart Search operating modes are available:
• "Single"
Sweep
In this mode, the transceiver sweeps the current band
once in each direction starting on the current fre-
quency. All channels where activity is present (up to
15 in each direction) are loaded into the Smart Search
memories. Whether or not all 31 memories are filled,
the search stops after one sweep in each direction.
• "Continuous" Sweep
In this mode, the transceiver makes a sweep in each
direction as with the One-Shot mode, but if all 31
channels are not filled after the first sweep, the radio
continues sweeping until they are all filled.
