* Visual Scan graphically shows the busy status of frequencies in a
specific range.
Note:
While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan unmutes only for the signals
that contain the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you
selected.
Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to stop.
Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Checker
(ASC) {page 14}.

NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,
3 types of scanning are available: Band Scan,
Program Scan, and MHz Scan.
BAND SCAN
e
The transceiver scans the entire band of the
frequency you selected. For example, if you are
operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz on the
A-band, it scans all the frequencies available for the
144 MHz band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency
range in the specifications {page xx}). When the
n i
current VFO receive frequency is outside of the
Program Scan frequency range {below}, the
transceiver scans the entire frequency range
available for the current VFO.
1 Press [VFO].
2 Press [BAND] to select your desired band.
3 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
the frequency outside of the Program Scan
l e
frequency range {below}.
4 Press [VFO] (1 s) to start the Band Scan.
5 To stop the Band Scan, press [VFO] or [PTT].
Note:
While scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by
e
turning the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ].
If you select a frequency within the L0/ U0 ~ L9/ U9 range in step
3, the Program Scan {below} starts.
If you press [MONI], Band Scan temporarily pauses. Release
s i
[MONI] to resume scanning.
The transceiver stops scanning in only the AM and FM modes
when it detects a signal.
s l
If the Fine Tuning function is ON, scanning does not stop at the
busy channels.
a
If you press any ot the following keys during the scan, the
transceiver exits the Scan: [F], [F] (1 s), [LAMP], [MONI],
[SQL], Tuning control, [ ], and [ ]
