Scanning Function; Vfo Scan; Memory Channel Scanning; Programmable Memory Scan (Pms) - Yaesu FTM-500DR Operating Manual

Scanning Function

The FTM-500DR supports the following four scanning functions:

• VFO Scan

• Memory Channel Scan

• Programmable Memory Scan (PMS)

For additional details on the Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) and Scan for specified
memory channels, refer to the Advanced Manual which may be downloaded from the
Yaesu website.
VFO Scan
VFO scan function scans the frequencies, and detects signals.
1. Press the [V/M(MW)] key to enter the VFO mode.
2. Press the FUNC knob.
3. Rotate the FUNC knob to select "SCAN", then press the FUNC knob.
• Scanning starts toward higher frequencies.
• If the 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.
• If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the frequency display will blink. Scan-
ning will resume in about five seconds.
4. Press the PTT switch to cancel the scanning.
• If the scan has paused on a signal, rotating the DIAL knob will cause scanning to resume
instantly.
• When turning the transceiver OFF while scanning, turning the transceiver ON, will cause
scanning to resume.

Memory Channel Scanning

The receiver may be set to scan memory channels:
1. Recall a memory channel to begin memory scanning.
2. Press the FUNC knob.
3. Rotate the FUNC knob to select "SCAN", then press the FUNC knob.
• Scanning starts toward higher memory channel numbers.
• If the 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.
• If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the frequency display will blink. Scan-
ning will resume in about five seconds.
4. Press the PTT switch to cancel the scanning.
If the scan has paused on a signal, rotating the DIAL knob will cause scanning to resume
next memory channel.
Programmable Memory scan (PMS)
This function scans only the range of frequencies between the lower and upper limits
registered in a pair of PMS Programmable Memory channels. 50 sets of PMS memory
channels (L01/U01 to L50/U50) are available.
