Smart Search - Yaesu FT-7800R Operating Manual

MART
The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where
activity is encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver will
search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (with-
out stopping on them even momentarily); these frequencies are stored into a special Smart
Search memory band, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15 below
the current frequency, plus the current frequency itself).
The Smart Search feature is especially useful when visiting a city for the first time, where
you may be unfamiliar with the repeater frequencies; Smart Search discovers where the
local activity is to be found, and automatically loads those frequencies for you.
Two basic operating modes for Smart Search are available:
SINGLE: In this mode, the transceiver will sweep the current band once in each direction
starting on the current frequency. All channels where activity is present will be
loaded into the Smart Search memories; whether or not all 31 memories are filled,
the search will stop after one sweep in each direction.
CONT: In this mode, the transceiver will make one pass in each direction as with One-Shot
searching; if all 31 channels are not filled after the first sweep, however, the radio
will continue sweeping until they are all filled.
