This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO opera-
tion. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of the
band below 144.300 MHz. Here's how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the c key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store (as in the above example) 144.300 MHz
into Memory Channel #L1 (the "L" designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the "U" designates the
Upper sub-band limit).
4. Press and hold in the B key for one second and rotate
the DIAL knob while holding in the B key to select the
desired PMS frequency pair (PMSxx).
5. Release the B key to start scanning within the just-pro-
grammed range. The "VFO" label will be replaced by "PMS"
and the Band number will be replaced by "Pxx". Tuning
and scanning will now be limited within the just-pro-
grammed range.
6. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L50/U50 are available.
You therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you
like.
7. To exit to normal operation, press the c key.
