Scanning Function; Vfo Scan/Memory Scan; Programmable Memory Scan (Pms) - Yaesu FTM-300DR Operating Manual

Scanning Function

The FTM-300DR/DE supports the following three scanning functions:
• VFO Scan
• Memory Channel Scan

• Programmable Memory Scan (PMS)

VFO Scan/Memory Scan

To find frequencies where there are signals in VFO mode or memory mode:
1. Press the [A/B] key to set the band to be scanned as
the operation band.
2. Press the [V/M(MW)] key to switch to VFO mode or
memory mode.
3. Press and hold the microphone [UP] or [DWN] switch
to start scanning.
• If the DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is in prog-
ress, the scanning will continue up or down in fre-
quency according to the direction of the DIAL Knob
rotation.
• When a signal is received, the scan pauses, the
frequency flashes, and the scan starts again after
about 3 seconds.
4. Press the PTT switch or [UP] or [DWN] on the micro-
phone to cancel the scanning.
The transceiver will not transmit in this case.
• If the scan has paused on a signal, rotating the DIAL knob will cause scanning to resume
instantly.
• If the transceiver is turned OFF while scanning, when the transceiver is turned ON,
scanning will resume.
Programmable Memory scan (PMS)
This function scans only the range of frequencies between the lower and upper limits
registered in a pair of PMS Programmable Memory channels. 50 sets of PMS memory
channels (L01/U01 to L50/U50) are available.
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.
