Preferential Memory Scan - Yaesu VX-2R Operating Manual

When you recall the "skipped" memory channel manually, a small "u" icon will appear at
the left of the memory channel number, indicating it is to be ignored during scanning.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select "OFF" in step 5 above (the "Skipped"
channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the
DIAL knob in the MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).

Preferential Memory Scan

The VX-2R also allows you to set up a "Preferential Scan List" of channels which you can
"flag" within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking "u" icon
when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the blinking "u" icon
appended, only those channels bearing the blinking "u" icon will be scanned. If you ini-
tiate scanning on a channel which does not have the blinking "u" icon appended, you will
scan all channels including those with the blinking "u" icon appended.
Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1. Recall the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List.
2. Press and hold in the [ H/L ] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 39: SKIP.
4. Press the [ H/L ] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select "ONLY."
6. When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the settings and exit to
normal operation.
To initiate Preferential Memory Scan:
1. Press the [ V/M ] key momentarily to enter the Memory Recall mode, if you are not
using memories already.
2. Rotate the DIAL to select any channel which has a blinking "u" icon appended to the
channel number.
3. Press and hold in the [ BAND ] key for one second, and rotate the DIAL knob while
holding in the [ BAND ] key to select the desired Memory Scan mode.
ALL CH: The scanner sweeps all Preferential Memory channels.
BAND: The scanner sweeps only those Preferential Memory channels which are
memorized on the same operating band as the first channel on which scan-
ning started.
PMS-X: This is not Preferential Memory Scan. The scanner will sweep frequencies
within the currently-selected PMS frequency pair. See next page for details.
4. Release the [ BAND ] key to initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only the channels
which have a blinking "u" icon appended to the channel number will be scanned.
