Program Scan - Kenwood TS-2000 Instruction Manual

PROGRAM SCAN

Program Scan monitors the range between the
start and end frequencies that you have stored in
Conventional memory channels 290 to 299. Refer
to "STORING FREQUENCY RANGES" {page 62}
for details on how to store the start and end
frequencies.
You can select a maximum of 10 memory
channels (Memory channels 290 to 299) and
sequentially scan the ranges that you stored in
these channels. Program Scan starts with the
smallest channel number and repeats the
sequence as described below.
1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B.
• If you are operating the sub-receiver, press
[VFO/ M] to select VFO mode.
2 Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL].
3 If no Program scan channel is selected, all
memory channel numbers (from 290 to 299)
are displayed in small fonts. Only the one's
digit of each memory channel is displayed on
the main dot-matrix display. 0 represents
channel 290, 1 represents channel 291, 2
represents channel 292, etc.
4 To select the Program scan frequency range,
press a numeric key 0 to 9. For example,
press [3] for channel 293 only or press [3], [5],
[7] to select the channels 293, 295, and 297.
When a channel is selected for the Program
Scan, the number is displayed in a larger font.
To temporarily deselect all the channels (290 to
299) so that you can perform the VFO Scan,
press [•/ DCS/ SEL]. (Refer to "VFO SCAN"
on page 66)
Note :
At least one of the valid Program Scan channels (from 290 to
299) must be programmed and selected to perform the
Program Scan. If no Program channel is selected or
available for the Program Scan, the transceiver performs the
VFO Scan.
When performing the Program Scan on the sub-receiver, the
frequencies must be within the sub-receiver frequency range
limitations. Otherwise, the Program scan cannot be
performed. The same conditions apply to the main
transceiver.

5 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the Program
Scan.
• To quickly move towards a desired frequency
while scanning, turn the Tuning control or the
MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]/[DWN].
• When in a mode other than FM mode, turning
the RIT/ SUB control clockwise decreases the
scan speed, and counterclockwise increases
the speed. The current scan speed is shown
on the display; P1 is the fastest speed and P9
is the slowest.
• While in FM mode, Scan automatically stops
on a frequency where a signal is present. The
transceiver will either remain on that channel
for a short time (Time-operated mode) or until
the signal drops out (Carrier-operated mode),
depending on which mode you select via Menu
No. 10 {page 68}.
6 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [CLR].
Note:
If you are operating on the sub-receiver and perform the
Program Scan, the sub-receiver automatically skips the
memory channels that cannot be scanned on the sub-receiver.
The same conditions also apply to the main transceiver.
If you have turned the MAIN SQL or SUB SQL control
clockwise, far beyond the squelch threshold when in FM
mode, Scan may fail to stop at a channel where a signal is
present. If this happens, turn the MAIN SQL or SUB SQL
control slightly counterclockwise.
If you press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] before storing any frequency
range for memory channels 290 to 299, the transceiver starts
VFO scan.
When the current receive frequency is within one of the ranges
that you selected with channel numbers, Scan starts with the
current frequency. The operating mode stored in the memory
channel is used.
When the current receive frequency is outside all the ranges
that you selected with the channel numbers, Scan starts with
the start frequency stored in the smallest channel number.
The operating mode can be changed while scanning, but the
memory channel is overwritten with the changed mode.
When the current Scan range is smaller than a single step of
the MULTI/ CH control, turning the control clockwise causes
Scan to jump to the start frequency, and counterclockwise to
the end frequency.
Starting Program Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT
functions.
While in FM mode, the Program Scan monitors rounded off
frequencies regardless of the Menu No. 04 setting.
You cannot change the scan speed on the sub-receiver.
PROGRAM SCAN PARTIALLY SLOWED
You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency points for
each memory channel from 290 to 299 so that the
Program Scan slows down the scanning speed. To
specify the slow down frequency points, first program
the start and end frequencies into a memory channel
(290 ~ 299) {page 62}.
1 Access Menu No. 07 to set the function ON
(default is OFF).
2 You can further configure the slow down frequency
width. Access Menu No. 08 to select the range
from 100 Hz to 500 Hz.
Note: If you select, for example, 500 Hz for Menu No. 08, the
Program Scan slows down to a ± 500 Hz width, centering the
frequency you marked below.
