Scan-Resume Choices; Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only) - Yaesu FT-857D Operating Manual

Scan-Resume Choices

Scanning operation requires that you have the FT-857's audio squelched. The transceiver
then "assumes" that the opening of the squelch corresponds to the discovery of a signal you
may wish to listen to. Once the scan has been halted, one of three things may happen:
TIME (default action): In this mode, the transceiver pauses on the signal and stays locked on
BUSY:
STOP:
To choose the Scan-Resume mode:
1. Press and hold in the [ FUNC ] button for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the SELECT knob to recall Menu Mode No-001 [ EXT MENU ] , then rotate the
DIAL to change the setting to "ON" to enable the extended Menu Mode.
3. Rotate the SELECT knob to select Menu Mode No-077 [ SCAN MODE ] .
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Scan-Resume mode.
5. Press and hold in the [ FUNC ] button for one second to exit the Menu mode.

Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only)

Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do not
wish to scan. For example, broadcast signals (which are transmitted continuously) will cause
the scanner to stop, and such channels may be skipped so as to avoid this inconvenience.
To remove a channel from the scanning loop:
1. Press the [ FUNC ] key momentarily, then rotate the SELECT knob, as needed, until
Multi Function Row "b" [ MW, SKIP, TAG ] appears on the display.
2. Recall the memory channel to be skipped.
3. Press the [ B ]( SKIP ) key momentarily. The "hyphen" in
the memory channel number will change to become a "dot;"
this shows that this channel now is not included in the
scanning loop.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary to skip
all the channels you do not wish to scan.

In this mode, the scanner will halt until the other station's transmis-
sion ceases (at which point the squelch will close). One second after
the squelch closes, scanning resumes automatically.
In this mode, the scanner will find a signal, and lock on that fre-
quency without resuming the scan.
