Scanning Operation - Vertex Standard VXA-220 Operating Manual

The VXA-220 allows you to scan automatically in the
VFO 1 , Main Memory, "Book" Memory, or Weather
Channel 2 modes. It pauses on signals encountered, so
you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you
like.
1: In the VFO mode, the automatic scanner is only avail-
able in the COM band (118.000 - 136.975 MHz); when
the scanner reaches the uppermost frequency in the
COM band, it will revert to the bottom end of the
COM band and repeat the scanning process until you
cancel the scanning process.
2: USA version only.
If you wish to scan in the NAV band (108.000 - 117.975
MHz), you can do so manually, as described below.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the
above modes.
Press and hold in the
[ ( SET )] key for 2
seconds to start the au-
tomatic scanner upward
(toward a higher fre-
quency or a higher
channel number).

CANNING PERATION
When the scanner encounters a signal, scanning
pauses and the radio remains on that channel until
one second after the signal disappears, after which
scanning will resume.
While the scanner remains paused on a frequency,
the decimal point of the frequency displays blinks.
The display will be illuminated unless the Scan Lamp
Feature is turned off.
