The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where
activity is encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver will
search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (with-
out stopping on them even momentarily); these frequencies are stored into a special Smart
Search memory bank, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15
below the current frequency, plus the current frequency itself).
Two basic operating modes for Smart Search are available:
SINGLE SINGLE SINGLE : In this mode, the transceiver will sweep the current band once in each direction
SINGLE SINGLE
starting on the current frequency. All channels where activity is present will be
loaded into the Smart Search memories; whether or not all 31 memories are
filled, the search will stop after one sweep in each direction.
CONT CONT CONT : In this mode, the transceiver will make one pass in each direction as with One-
CONT CONT
Shot searching; if all 31 channels are not filled after the first sweep, however,
the radio will continue sweeping until they are all filled.
