    Previous view MEMORY OPERATION ■ About the Memory channels The transceiver has 201 memory channels, including 2 scan edge channels. The Memory mode is very useful to quickly select of- ten-used frequencies. All 201 memory channels are tuneable, which means the programmed frequency can be tuned temporarily by rotating [DIAL], even in the memory mode.

  • Page 90: Scan Types

    SCAN OPERATION ■ Scan types Scanning automatically searches for signals and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes. The IC-7200 has two scan types; Programmed scan and Memory scan. PROGRAMMED SCAN MEMORY SCAN Repeatedly scans between two scan edge frequencies Repeatedly scans all programmed memory channels that (scan edge memory channels P1 and P2).
  • Page 91: Scan Edges Programming

    Previous view SCAN OPERATION ■ Scan edges programming Memory channels P1 and P2 are the Program Scan Edge channels. They are used to program the upper and lower frequency edges for the programmed scan. (p. 8-4) Factory default frequency and operating modes are programmed into the Scan Edge channels.
  • Page 92 Previous view SCAN OPERATION ■ Scanning between programmed channels (VFO mode) A programmed scan searches for signals between scan edge memory channels P1 and P2. The default frequencies for these memories are 0.500000 MHz and 29.99999 MHz. See page 8-3 for scan edges programming. Push to select the VFO mode.
  • Page 93 Previous view SCAN OPERATION ■ Scanning Memory channels (Memory mode) A Memory scan searches for signals through memory channels 1 to 199. Blank (unprogrammed) memory channels are skipped. Push to select the Memory mode. Close the squelch with the [RF/SQL] control. Push to start the scan.
