Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase
your operating effi ciency.
This transceiver provides the following types of scans:
Scan Type
VFO Scan
Memory Scan
Group Scan
Program Scan
MHz Scan
Call Scan
Note:
◆
Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.
◆
While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that
you selected.
◆
When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level
drops below the S-meter setting.
◆
Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band.
◆
Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF.
SELECTING A SCAN RESUME METHOD
The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory
channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues
scanning according to which resume mode you have selected.
You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-
operated mode.
•
Time-Operated mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory
channel for approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to
scan even if the signal is still present.
•
Carrier-Operated mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory
channel until the signal drops out. There is a 2 second delay
between signal drop-out and scan resumption.
•
Seek mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory
channel even after the signal drops out and does not
automatically resume scanning.
Note: To temporarily stop scanning and monitor weak signals, press the
microphone PF key assigned to the Monitor function. Press the PF key again to
resume scanning.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 913.
2 Set the Scan Resume mode to TIME (Time-Operated),
CARRIER (Carrier-Operated) or SEEK.
SCAN
Scans all frequencies on the current band.
Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.
Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which belong to the group you have
specifi ed.
Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on the current band.
Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the originating frequency.
Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory
channel.
SCAN-1
Scan Range
■ Time-Operate Resume Time
Set the hold time for the Time-Operate scan method.
When a signal is received, scan will pause at that frequency
for the duration of the hold time you set. When the set time
elapses, scan will resume (even if the signal is still being
received).
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 914.
2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec.
■ Carrier-Operated Resume Time
Set the hold time for the Carrier-Operate scan method. When
a signal is received, scan will pause at that frequency. When
the signal stops, scan will resume after the duration of the
hold time you set.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 915.
2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec.
