Vfo Scanning - Yaesu FT-8900R Operating Manual

S
CANNING
This mode allows you to scan the entire current operating band.
1. Select the VFO mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key, if necessary.
2. Press the [ SCN ] key momentarily to start scanning.
3. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink dur-
ing this "Pause" condition.
4. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the previ-
ous section.
5. To cancel scanning, press the [ SCN ] key momentarily again (or press the microphone's
PTT key).
When you start scanning, the FT-8900R will be changing frequency in the up-
ward direction. If you want to change direction of the scan while it is underway,
rotate the DIAL knob one click in the opposite direction (in this case, one click counter-
clockwise). You'll see the scanner turn around and change frequency downward!
You may change the scanning function so that the VFO frequency will jump to the low band
edge of the next band when the VFO frequency reaches the high edge of the current band (or
vice versa). See page 60 regarding Menu #4 (BAND).
