Memory Scanning; How To Skip (Omit) A Channel During Memory Scan Operation - Yaesu FT-8900R Operating Manual

Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key, if necessary.
2. Press the [ SCN ] key to initiate scanning.
3. As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-Resume
mode set previously.
4. To cancel scanning, press the [ SCN ] key again (or press the microphone's PTT key).
On the "right" band, Memory Channel scan will only search through the memory
channels which are stored inside the 144 MHz and 430 MHz amateur bands.

How to Skip (Omit) a Channel During Memory Scan Operation

Some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station will seriously impede
scanner operation if you are using the "Carrier Drop" Scan-Resume mode, as the incoming
signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels may
be "Skipped" during scanning, if you like:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key, if necessary.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
3. Press and hold the [ SCN ] key for 1/2 second so as to make the small "SKIP" icon appear
on the display. The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The
small "SKIP" icon will also appear when you recall the "skipped" memory channel manu-
ally.
The " " selection is used for "Preferential Memory Scan," described in the
next column.
4. To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, press and hold in the [ SCN ] key for
1/2 second twice to select "OFF" (the "Skipped" channel will, of course, still be acces-
sible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the MR mode, whether
or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
