Scan Operation; Scan Types - Icom IC-M87 Instruction Manual

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
In addition, the Auto Scan function is available for standby
convenience. (p. 18)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
CH 88 CH 16
CH 05
Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in se-
quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de-
tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disap-
pears. When a signal is detected on a channel other than
Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal dis-
appears.

SCAN OPERATION

Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the TAG for unwanted channels which inconveniently
stop scanning, such as those for digital communications.
Select the desired Scan type (Priority scan or Normal
scan) in the Set mode. (p. 18)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
CH 88
CH 05
Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all TAG
channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a
TAG channel.
