Vfo And Memory Scanning; Vfo Scanning - Yaesu FT-2000 Operating Manual

You may scan wither the VFO or the memories of the FT-2000D, and the radio will halt the scan on any station with a signal
strong enough to open the receiver's squelch.
1. Set the VFO to the frequency on which you would like
to begin scanning.
2. Rotate the Main [ SQL ] knob so that the background
noise is just silenced.
A :
Rotate the Sub [ SQL ] knob so that the background
noise is just silenced, if you would like to begin scan-
ning on the Sub band (VFO-B).
3. Press and hold in the microphone's [ UP ] or [ DWN ]
key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified
direction on the Main (VFO-A) band.
A :
If you would like to begin scanning on the Sub band
(VFO-B), press the [ B ] button first, then (within five
seconds of pressing the [ B ] button, while the orange
imbedded LED is blinking), press and hold in the
microphone's [ UP ] or [ DWN ] key for 1/2 second.
4. If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the decimal
point between the "MHz" and "kHz" digits of the fre-
quency display will blink.
A :
If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will re-
sume in about five seconds.
On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the
scanner will pause on a received signal, then will
step across the signal very slowly, giving you time
to stop the scan, if you like. In these modes on the
VFO, the scanner does not stop, however.
5. To cancel the scanning, press the microphone's [ UP ]
or [ DWN ] key momentarily.
A :
You may select the manner in which the scanner resumes
while it has paused on a signal, using Menu item "039
GEnE SCN RSM." The default "5Sec" setting will cause
the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; you may
change it, however, to resume only after the carrier has
dropped out, if you like See page 119.
