Select Scan - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

(11) SELECT SCAN - special "select scan list" overview
While scanning memory banks, you may decide that some memory channels
are MORE INTERESTING than others and become frustrated at having to
manually force the SCAN passed uninteresting but active channels. Of
course it is possible to PASS these uninteresting channels but you will
need to reinstate them at a later time.
A better method is to use SELECT SCAN which is made up of a specially
"selected list" of "tagged" memory channels which may be scanned as a group.
This is a very useful facility which allows rapid selection of memory channels
from any memory bank regardless of frequency, mode or pass status.
Up to a total of 100 memory channels may be "tagged" for SELECT SCAN and
taken from any of the 20 memory banks.
One great advantage is that the contents of the SELECT SCAN list may be
deleted in one simple sequence (using the [FUNC] [9] SELECT DEL /
SEL-SCAN menu) making the list blank and ready for use over and over again.
There are three ways in which memory channels may be "tagged" for SELECT
SCAN.
1. SELECT SCAN channels may be "tagged" while in SCAN MODE and
stopped on an active channel by pressing [FUNC] [PASS].
2. SELECT SCAN channels may be "tagged" while in MEMORY RECALL
(M.RE) MODE by first selecting the desired memory channel then press
[FUNC] [PASS].
3. SELECT SCAN channels may be chosen ("tagged") and "EDITED" via a
special "SELECT SCAN" menu accessed while in VFO MODE by
pressing [FUNC] [PASS].
To initiate a SELECT SCAN once a selection of channels has been made press
[FUNC] [5].
SELECT SCAN will scan only the memory channels
which have been chosen ("tagged") and will adopt the
current SCAN PARAMETERS which have been
selected (DELAY, AUDIO, FREE, LEVEL & MODE).
In the default state, the scan will remain on an active
channel then wait a further two seconds after the
signal has disappeared before resuming SCAN. If
you have altered the SCAN PARAMETER OPTIONS
(section 10-12 of this manual) then the new
parameters will be employed.
If no memory channels have been "tagged" for SELECT SCAN then the
message "NOT FOUND" will be briefly displayed on the first line of the LCD.
