groups as shown below.
MGROUP-0 Memory Channel Nos. 00 ~ 09
MGROUP-1 Memory Channel Nos. 10 ~ 19
MGROUP-2 Memory Channel Nos. 20 ~ 29
MGROUP-3 Memory Channel Nos. 30 ~ 39
MGROUP-4 Memory Channel Nos. 40 ~ 49
MGROUP-5 Memory Channel Nos. 50 ~ 59
MGROUP-6
Memory Channel Nos. 60 ~ 69
MGROUP-7 Memory Channel Nos. 70 ~ 79
MGROUP-8 Memory Channel Nos. 80 ~ 89
MGROUP-9 Memory Channel Nos. 90 ~ 99
MGROUP-P
Memory Channel Nos. P0 ~ P9
MGROUP-E Memory Channel Nos. E0 ~ E9

■ Scan Group Select

You can select one or more groups to be scanned.
First, select the groups to be scanned.

0 ~ 9, MGROUP–1 represents Memory
channels 10 ~ 19 and so on up to
MGROUP–9 which represents Memory
channels 90 ~ 99 and MGROUP-P which
represents Memory channels P0 ~ P9.
4 Press [M.IN] to select "on" to add the group to
the Group Scan list.

■ 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. 26.
2 Press [M/V] 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/CH control or
press and hold Mic [UP]/ [DWN].
5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or
[CLR].
Note:
◆
If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond
the squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel
in which a signal is present. If this happens, turn the
SQL control slightly 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.
