As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-
tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the "Carrier Drop" Scan-
Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to
resume scanning. Such channels may be "Skipped" during scanning, if you like:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press the f key, then press the 5 key. The small "⊳"
icon will appear at the left of the frequency display. The
current Memory Channel will now be ignored (skipped) dur-
ing scanning (the "skipped" channel will, of course, still be
accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the Memory
Recall ("MR") mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, press the f key followed by the 5
key twice, to remove the small "⊳" icon from the display.
Note: You may notice a blinking "⊳" icon while you perform above procedure. It indi-
cates the "Preferential Memory Scan" channel, described in the next column.

The VX-8GR/GE also allows you to set up a "Preferential Scan List" of channels which
you can "flag" within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking
"⊳" icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List. When
you initiate memory scanning on a channel with the blinking "⊳" icon appended, only
those channels bearing the blinking "⊳" icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on
a channel which does not have the blinking "⊳" icon appended, you will scan all channels
including those with the blinking "⊳" icon appended.
Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1. Recall the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List.
2. Press the f key followed by the 5 key until a blinking
small "⊳" icon appears at the left of the frequency display.
To clear the memory channel from the "Preferential Scan List",
press the f key followed by the 5 key. The blinking small
"⊳" icon will disappear from the display.
