GROUP SCAN

100 memory channels are divided into 10 groups so
that you can select one or more groups to be
scanned, depending on the situation.

{page 50}, the memory channel belongs to one of 10
groups as shown below.

■ Performing Group Scan

Group Scan starts with the smallest group number
and repeats the sequence. For example, if you
selected "on" for MGROUP–3, MGROUP–5, and
MGROUP–7, the transceiver scans the channels in
MGROUP–3 / MGROUP–5 / MGROUP–7 /
MGROUP–3 and so on.
1 Select Time-operated or Carrier-Operated mode
via Menu No. 11.
2 Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall
mode.
3 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch
threshold.
4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start Memory Group
Scan.
• Scan ascends up through the channel numbers.
(The scan direction cannot be changed.)
• To jump to a desired channel while scanning,
turn the MULTI control or press and hold Mic
[UP]/ [DWN].
5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or
[MTR/ CLR].
Note:
◆
If you have turned the
SQL
squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel in which a
signal is present. If this happens, turn the
counterclockwise.
◆
When the current channel is within one of the groups that you
selected, Scan starts with the current channel.
◆ When the current channel is outside all the groups that you
selected, Scan starts with the group number that is larger than
and closest to the group number of the current channel.
◆
Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions.
