ROGRAMMABLE
This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO opera-
tion. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz, to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of the
band below 144.300 MHz. Here's how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier in the above procedures, store 144.300 MHz into
Memory Channel #L1 (the "L" designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the "U" designates the
Upper sub-band limit).
4. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [ V/M ] key.
5. Press and hold in the [ BAND ] key for one second and rotate the
DIAL knob while holding in the [ BAND ] key to select the de-
sired PMS frequency pair (PMSxx). Then release the [ BAND ]
key to initiate the Programmable (Band Limit) Memory Scan.
The Memory Channel number will be replaced by "Pxx". Tuning
and scanning will now be limited within the just-programmed
range.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
6. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L50/U50 are available. You
therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.
