Programmable Memory Scan (Pms) - Yaesu FTDX101MP Operation Manual

Programmable Memory Scan (PMS)

To limit scanning (and manual tuning) to a particular frequency range, the Programmable Memory Scan-
ning (PMS) feature utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs ("M-P1L/M-P1U through M-P9L/ M-P9U).
The PMS feature is especially useful in helping to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to
your Amateur license class.
First: store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning
limit frequencies into the memory pair "M-P1L"
and "M-P1U", respectively (or any other "L/U" pair
of special PMS memories).
1. Recall the memory channel "M-P1L".
2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the back-
ground noise is just silenced (page 42,
43).
MAIN band SUB band
3. Turn the Main Dial knob slightly (to activate
memory tuning).
● The Memory Channel "M-PL1" will be re-
placed by "PMS".
4. Press the [FUNC] key.
5. Touch [SCAN] to start PMS.
● Scanning is only between frequencies
stored in M-P1L and M-P1U.
● Start scanning by pressing and holding the
UP or DWN key on the microphone.
● The operation when a signal is received
during scanning varies depending on the
mode type.
Other than
SSB, CW
SSB, CW
● If the scan has paused on a signal, press-
ing the microphone UP or DWN button will
cause scanning to resume instantly.
● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while
scanning is in progress, the scanning will
continue up or down in frequency according
to the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (in
other words, if the dial is rotated to the left
when scanning toward a higher frequency,
the direction of the scan will reverse.)
To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or
press any key on the front panel of the transceiv-
er.
Scanning will pause.
Scanning speed will be
slower, but scanning
will not be paused.
If the microphone PTT button is pressed during
scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However,
pressing the PTT button while scanning will not
cause transmission.
● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to
prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from
initiating scanning, you may disable scanning
control from the microphone using Menu item
[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →
[MIC SCAN] (page 98).
● The manner in which the scanner resumes af-
ter it has paused on a signal may be selected
by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING]
→ [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME] (page
98).
The default "TIME" (5 sec) setting will cause
the scanner to resume scanning after five
seconds; however the scan setting may be
changed to resume only after the received sig-
nal has dropped out.
