You may scan either the VFO or the memories of the FT-410, and the radio will halt the scan on any station
with a signal strong enough to open the receiver's squelch.

Preparation

When operating the Scanning feature, set the
configuration of the [ RF/SQL] knob to "Squelch" via
the Menu Item "SQL/RF Gain".
1. Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.
The "Menu." will appear on the display.
2. Rotate the [ MAIN DIAL ] knob to select the menu
item "SQL/RF Gain".
3. Press the [ GRP ] button to enable adjustment of this
menu item.
4. Rotate the [ MAIN DIAL ] knob to select "SQL" to assign the Squelch feature to the [ RF/SQL] knob.
5. Press the [ GRP ] button. The "Menu." returns to appear continuously.
6. Press the [ MENU ] button to save the new setting and return to normal operation.

VFO/Memory Scan

1. Rotate the [ RF/SQL] knob just to the point where
the noise is silenced and the "RX" indicator on the
display turns off.
2. Press the [ SCAN ] button to initiate upward scanning
(toward higher frequencies or higher memory
channel numbers).
3. If you want to change direction of the scan while
it is underway, rotate the [ MAIN DIAL ] knob in the
opposite direction. You will see the scanner reverse
direction and scan down in frequency.
You may change the direction of the scanner by
pressing and holding the microphone's [ UP ] / [ DWN ] key for one second, if you are using the MH-31
Hand Microphone.
4. In AM mode, when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner will
halt for five seconds, after which scanning will resume.
In the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to
open the squelch, the scanner will step across the signal very slowly, giving you time to stop the scan, if
you like.
5. To stop the scanner, press the [ SCAN ] button or PTT switch.

You may select the manner in which the scanner resumes while it has paused on a signal, using Menu Item
"Scan Resume" The default "5sec" setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; you
may change it, however, to resume only after the carrier has dropped out.
During Memory Group operation, only the channels within the current Memory Group will be scanned.
