Memory Scanning; How To Skip (Omit) A Channel; During Memory Scan Operatin; Programmable (Band Limit) - Yaesu FT-250R - ANNEXE 824 Manual

Scanning
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key, if necessary.
Press and hold in the [ ( MHz ) ] / [ ( MHz ) ] key for 1/2 second to initiate scanning.
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-Re-
sume mode set previously.
To cancel scanning, press the PTT key.

OW TO KIP
When you have some very active channels stored in memories, you may wish to skip them
when scanning, but still have them available for manual selection.
Such channels may be "Skipped" during scanning, if you like:
Set the radio to the Memory Mode by pressing the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key, if necessary.
Rotate the DIAL to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
Press the [ F/L ] key momentarily (not for 1/2 second), then press the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ]
key (momentarily). A small "SKIP" will appear to the LCD. indicating it is to be
ignored during scanning.
To re-institute the channel into the scanning loop, repeat the above three steps (the "Skipped"
channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the
DIAL in the MR mode).

ROGRAMMABLE
This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO opera-
tion. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of
the band below 144.300 MHz. Here's how to do this:
Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [ VFO ( PRI ) ] key, if necessary.
Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above example) 144.300 MHz into
Memory Channel #L1
Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1
per sub-band limit).
Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key once, then rotate
the DIAL to select Memory Channel # L1
Press the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key; the "MR
quency of the display.
You may now rotate the DIAL, or begin scanning by pressing the [ ( MHz ) ] or [ ( MHz ) ]
key for 1/2 second. The transceiver will behave as though it is in the standard VFO
mode, but operation will be restricted to the range between Memory Channels L1
