SCAN OPERATION
■ Scan
Scanning is a versatile function that can automatically
search for signals and makes it easier to locate stations
to contact or listen to, or to skip unwanted channels or
frequencies.

D About the scan function

• In the VFO mode
The frequencies that are set as "PSKIP" are skipped
during a scan. (p. 13-7)
NOTE: One or more pair of the scan edge channels
must be programmed to start a program scan.
• In the memory mode
Repeatedly scans all programmed Memory channels.
The frequencies that are set as skip channels "PSKIP"
and "SKIP" are not scanned. (p.13-12)
NOTE: Two or more memory channels must be pro-
grammed to start a memory scan.
[Duplex (DUP) scan]
The Duplex scan searches for both TX and RX fre-
quencies which are used in duplex operation.
(p. 15-4, 15-5)
• The "DUP–" or "DUP+" icon is displayed in the duplex
mode.
• A duplex scan will not start when the frequency offset is
set to "0.000 MHz."
[Tone scan]
The tone scan searches for tone frequencies or
DTCS codes that are used by stations using the Tone
Squelch function.
• A tone scan can be made in any mode: VFO, mem-
ory or Call channel.
• During a tone scan, rotate [DIAL] to switch scan
direction.
Refer to "Tone Squelch function" or "DTCS code
Squelch function" for details. (pp. 17-13 to 17-16)

Jump
• P-LINK0~9 (Program link scan) p. 13-5
Sequentially scans the program scan channels
which are set to link in the "PROGRAM LINK" item
in the MENU screen. (p. 16-20)
(MENU > Scan > Program Link)

D Memory scan

• ALL (Memory full scan) p. 13-9
Scans all memory channels.
• BAND (Selected band memory scan) p. 13-9
Scans all Memory channels on the same frequency
band as the selected channel.
• MODE (Mode memory scan) p. 13-9
Scans memory channels which are programmed
with the same receiving mode as the currently se-
lected mode.

D Memory bank scan

• ALL (Full bank scan) p. 13-10
Scans all banks.
• BANK-LINK (Bank link scan) p. 13-10
Sequentially scans the banks which are set to link in
the "BANK LINK" item in the MENU screen.
(MENU > Scan > Bank Link)
• BANK-A~Z (Bank scan) p. 13-10
Scans the memory channels in the selected bank.
