Programmable Memory Scan (Pms) - Yaesu FT-710 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 GAIN/SQL] knob so that the
background noise is just silenced (page
37).
3. Turn the Main Dial knob slightly (to activate
memory tuning).
The Memory Channel "M-P1L" will be re-
placed by "PMS".
4. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on
the microphone to start PMS.
● Scanning is only between frequencies
stored in M-P1L and M-P1U.
● The operation when a signal is received
during scanning varies depending on the
mode type.
Other than
LSB, USB
CW-L, CW-U
LSB, USB
CW-L, CW-U
● 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
or memory channel number, the direction of
the scan will reverse.)
To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or
press any key on the front panel of the transceiver.
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.
Scanning will pause.
Scanning speed will be
slower, but scanning will
not be paused.
● 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].
● The manner in which the scanner resumes after
it has paused on a signal may be selected by
using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING] →
[GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME].
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 signal has
dropped out.
