Scan Resume Methods - Kenwood TH-235A Instruction Manual

pn ___________
Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your
favorite frequencies. After becoming comfortable with how
to use Scan, the monitoring flexibility gained will increase
your operating efficiency. This transceiver provides the
following two types of Scan:
VFO Scan:
Monitors all tunable frequencies.
Memory Scan:
Monitors frequencies stored in the memory channels.
When using with CTCSS and/or DTSS:
e While using CTCSS, Scan stops and the squelch opens only
when received signals contain the matching CTCSS tone.
« While using DTSS, Scan stops for any signals received.
However, if the signals do not contain the matching DTSS
code, the squelch does not open.
* When both CTCSS and DTSS are ON, Scan stops for signais
that contain the matching CTCSS tone. However, if the
signals do not also contain the matching DTSS code, the
squelch does not open.
Note: Adjust the squelch level before using Scan.
SCAN RESUME METHODS
Before using Scan, it's necessary to decide under what
condition you want your transceiver to continue scanning
after detecting and stopping for a signal. You can choose
Time-Operated mode or Carrier-Operated mode. The
default is Time-Operated mode.
e Time-Operated mode
Your transceiver stops scanning after detecting a signal,
remains there for approximately 5 seconds, and then
continues to scan even if the signal is still present.
e Carrier-Operated mode
Your transceiver stops scanning after detecting a signal and
remains on the same frequency until the signal drops out.
There is a 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scan
resumption.
Note:
* Pressing [MONI] causes scanning to stop and squelch to open no
matier which resume method you select. When you release [MONI],
scanning resumes.
¢@ = = Turning the Tuning control clockwise after a signal that has stopped
Scan draps out, causes scanning to resume immediately upward.
@ Turning the Tuning control counterclockwise after a signal that has
stopped Scan drops out, causes scanning to resume immediately
downward.
