Scan Operation; Scan Types - Icom ic-m88 Instruction Manua

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has a Priority scan
and a Normal scan.
In addition, the Weather alert and Auto scan functions can
be selected in standby. These functions can be activated
simultaneously, depending on the settings in the Set mode.
(pp. 18, 19)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
WX* CH 16
CH 05
* Previously selected Weather channel
when weather alert function is ON
The Priority scan searches through all Tag channels in
sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal
disappears. When a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, the scan becomes Dualwatch until the
signal disappears.

SCAN OPERATION

Set the Tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the Tag channels that inconveniently stop scanning,
such as digital communications.
Choose the Priority or Normal scan in the Set mode.
(p. 18)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
* Previously selected Weather channel
when weather alert function is ON
The Normal scan, like the Priority scan, searches through
all Tag channels in sequence. However, unlike the Priority
scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set
as a Tag channel.
