Vfo Scanning; Memory Scanning - Yaesu VX-5R Operating Manual

This mode allows you to scan the entire current operating band.
Select the VFO mode by pressing the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key, if necessary.
Press and hold in the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key for one second to start scanning.
If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink
during this "Pause" condition.
The scanner will then resume according to the Scan Resume selected in the previous
section.
To cancel scanning, press the PTT, [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] , or [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key.
When you press the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key to start scanning, the VX-5R will be
changing frequency in the upward direction. If you want to change direction
of the scan while it is underway, rotate the DIAL one click in the opposite
direction (in this case, one click counter-clockwise). You'll see the scanner turn around
and change frequency downward!
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key, if necessary.
Press and hold in the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key for one second to initiate scanning.
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.
To cancel scanning, press the PTT, [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] , or [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key.
