Programmable Band-Scan Limits - Yaesu FT-2600M Operating Manual

Scanning
P
Besides band and memory scanning, this radio can be set to tune or scan only the frequen-
cies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example, you may wish to limit
tuning/scanning to 144.5 ~ 148 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW sub-band
between 144.0 and 144.5 MHz.
These scanning limits are stored in special "Sub-Band Limit Memories," labeled PMS-
1L, PMS-1U, PMS-2L, and PMS-2U, with "L" and "U" designations representing the Lower
and Upper limits, respectively.
To utilize this feature, use the following steps:
(1) Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory "PMS-1L," and
the upper edge in memory "PMS-1U" (or, alternatively, in memories "PMS-2L" and
"PMS-2U").
(2) With any of these memories recalled, press the [MHz] key momentarily to activate the
Programmable Band-Scan Limits. The "P" notation will appear at the right side of the
display, reminding you that you are using the Programmable Band Limits.
The frequencies stored in memories "L" and "U" will now serve as tuning and scanning
limits, thus creating a tuning sub-band.
To cancel the sub-band limits and return to normal memory operation, press the [D/MR]
key momentarily.
Note: If the frequency in memory channel "PMS-xL" is equal to or greater than the fre-
quency stored in memory channel "PMS-xU," you can not activate the PMS operation.
