Memory Scanning - Yaesu VX-8GE Operating Manual

S
CANNING
Memory scanning is also easy to initiate:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall ("MR") mode by pressing the c key, if neces-
sary.
2. Press and hold in the B key, then rotate the DIAL knob while holding in the
B key (the current Memory Scan mode will appear on
the frequency display) to select the desired Memory Scan
mode. Available selections are ALL CH, TAG1, TAG2, BAND,
and PMS-X.
ALL CH: The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.
TAG1: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same first digit of
the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.
TAG2: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same first and
second digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scan-
ning started.
BAND: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized on
the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.
PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS fre-
quency pair. See page 62 for details.
3. Release the B key to start scanning.
4. 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. When there are no memory channels corresponding to the
selected Memory Scan mode, the "MS ERR" notation will appear on the display.
5. To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or c key.
