11 SCAN

Scan is a function that searches for the availability of a
signal by shifting the frequency. This transceiver has the
following scans to search for the signal.

PROGRAM SCAN

Program Scan scans in the frequency range between the
Start frequency and End frequencies configured for the
Program Memory Channels P0 to P9.
You can configure the frequency range for Program Scan
for Program Memory Channels P0 to P9. A maximum of
10 frequency ranges may be used by the specific station.
If the transceiver can be on standby state on the adjacent
frequencies, it is easy to tune to the specific station after
the specific station starts a QSO using the frequency
range.

Note:
◆ With Program Scan, the transceiver scans on the frequency
range between the start frequency and the end frequency of the
Programmable Memory Channel, and moves to the next channel
after the transceiver finishes the scanning on the specified
frequency range.
◆ Press [ ] while pressing down [PF A] when the transceiver
power ( ) turns OFF starts up the transceiver power (
Auto Voice Guidance enabled.
◆ The transceiver scans from the lower frequency to the higher
frequency. If the end frequency is changed to be lower than the
start frequency with a rotation of the Tuning or MULTI/CH control,
the transceiver scans from the higher frequency to the lower
frequency.
◆ The step frequency for scanning is the same frequency step size
as that of the Tuning control for use in SSB, CW, FSK, and PSK
modes, 100 Hz for use in AM mode, and the same frequency step
size as that of the MULTI/CH control for use in FM mode.
◆ The scan stops when the transceiver receives a signal during the
Program Scan (VFO Scan) in FM mode or during the Memory
Scan (All Channel Scan, Group Scan) or the Quick Memory Scan.
Refer to "RESUMING THE SCAN" for the conditions to resume
scanning. {page 11-6}

Purpose
Scans on the frequency range
stored in the Programmable Memory
Channels P0 to P9.
Scans on all receive frequency
range. If all Programmable Memory
Channels are deselected (do not
allow scanning), the transceiver does
VFO scan, instead of Program Scan.
Scans on all Memory Channels, 00 to
99, P0 to P9, and E0 to E9.
Scans on the grouped Memory
Channels.
Scans on the Quick Memory
Channels.

) with
◆ While the transceiver is on stand by, in FM mode, to receive a
CTCSS tone, the scan stops only if the received CTCSS tone
matches the CTCSS tone configured for the transceiver.
◆ In FM mode, if the transceiver exceeds the critical squelch level by
rotating the SQL control clockwise, the scan does not stop even if
a signal is present. The squelch level must be set near the critical
squelch level.
◆ If the transceiver receives only using the main band, the transceiver
does not scan using the sub band.
◆ While Frequency Tracking is active, the scan does not start.

STARTING THE PROGRAM SCAN (VFO SCAN)

1 Press [M/V] to enter VFO mode.
2 Press [SCAN] (F5) to start the Program Scan (VFO
Scan).
Pressing [SCAN] (F5) again or pressing [ESC] stops
Program Scan (VFO Scan).
CONFIGURING THE PROGRAM SCAN (VFO SCAN)
FREQUENCY RANGE
You can configure whether the transceiver scans the
frequency range specified with the Program Memory
Channel (Program Scan), or receive all frequency range
(VFO Scan).
Refer to "CONFIGURING NAMES FOR MEMORY
CHANNELS" for the configuration of the Program Memory
Channel. {page 10-7}
1 Press [M/V] to enter VFO mode.
2 Press and hold [SCAN] (F5) to open the Program
Scan screen.
3 Press [ ] (F2) or [
for Program Memory Channel.
4 Press [ ] (F4) to determine whether or not the
transceiver scans the Program Memory Channels.
• Each key press toggles a tick mark between places (allows
scanning) or removes (does not allow scanning).
• To use VFO Scan, all tick marks on all Program Memory
Channels must be removed (deselected).
• Pressing [SEL.ALL] (F6) selects and places a tick mark on
all Program Memory Channels.
• Pressing [CLR.ALL] (F7) deselects and removes the tick
marks from all Program Memory Channels.
