CANNING
Before starting the scanner, make sure the SQL control is set to squelch off the noise on a
clear channel. As with frequency selection, two different modes of scanning are available:
band scanning or memory scanning. In both modes, scanning is manually activated and
deactivated by the [ p ] or [ q ] key. Just press and hold the key for more than ½-second to
start the scanner. If the transceiver is in the Dial mode, band scanning will result. If a
memory number is displayed, the transceiver is in the Memory mode, and only prestored
memories will be scanned.
The scanner pause on any channel where a signal is found strong enough to open the
squelch, and resumes about two seconds after the channel becomes clear. To stop the scan-
ner, press any one of [ p ] , [ q ] , [ D/MR ] keys or the PTT switch.
For memory scanning, it is sometimes useful to be able to scan only certain memories. To
use this feature, you can "hide" any memory from the scanner (except Memory [ 0 ] ) with-
out erasing it altogether. To hide a memory, press [ F ] + [ D/MR ] , select the memory to hide,
and press [ F ] + [ D/MR ] again while the Memory number is blinking. The display reverts to
memory [ 0 ] , and the hidden memory can no longer be selected or scanned.
To unmask a hidden memory, just repeat the same steps you took to hide it: press [ F ] + [ D/
MR ] , select the Memory number to unmask, and press [ F ] + [ D/MR ] again.
