frequency). To return to thè odd split press [D/MR] twice, to quit
and then recali thè memory again.
Scanning
Before starting thè scanner make sure thè SQL control is set to squelch
off
thè noise on a clear channel. Two different modes of scanning
are available: band scanning or memory scanning. In both modes, scan-
ning is manually activated and deactivated by thè [UP] or [DOWN]
key. Just press and hold thè key for more than ì-second to start thè
scanner. If thè transceiver is in thè Dial mode, band scanning will
result. If a memory number is displayed, thè transceiver is in thè
Memory mode, and only prestored memories will be scanned.
The scanner is preset at thè factory to pause for up to five seconds
on any channel where a signal is found strong enough to open thè
squelch, and then resumé scanning (this is SCAN mode A). If you
prefer to have thè scanner stay paused on a channel (until two seconds
after thè channel becomes clear), move thè SCAN mode selector switch
inside thè top cover to position B. See thè photo below.

To stop thè scanner, press any one of [UP], [DOWN], [D/MR] or thè
PTT switch.

For memory scanning, it is sometimes useful to be able to scan only
certain memories. You can 'hide
1
any memory from thè scanner (except
Memory 0) w i t h o u t erasing it altogether: press [F]+[M], select thè
memory to hide, and presS [F] + [M] again while thè Memory number is
b l i n k i n g . The display reverts to memory O, and thè hidden memory
can no longer be selected or scanned.
To unmask a hidden memory, just repeat thè same steps you took to
hide it: press [F] + [M], select thè Memory number to unmask, and press
[F]+[M] again.
Priority Channel Monitoring
The Priority
f u n c t i o n allows periodic checking for activity on any
memory while operating on thè Dial frequency, or checking of Memory
1 while operating on other memories. When a signal appears on thè
priority memory while receiving,
operation will automatically shift to
that memory, for up to five seconds (in SCAN mode A), or for as
long as a carrier is received (SCAN mode B, see page 22). If you
transmit while thè squelch is open on thè priority memory, priority
monitoring is cancelled and operation stays on thè priority memory.
The squelch must first be preset, and thè frequency to be monitored
stored in a memory (Memory 1 if you will be operating on other mem-
ories while monitoring). Press [D/MR] to operate on thè Dial, or else
select thè memory you want to operate on, and then press [F]+[PRI].
A 'P' will appear in thè memory window at thè upper left corner of
thè display, and about every five seconds thè displayed frequency will
shift to thè priority memory briefly as thè receiver checks for a signal.
As long as no signal appears on thè priority memory, you can tune,
transmit and receive on thè Dial, or select and operate on other mem-
ories (although thè memory number is not displayed). If a station you
wish to talk with appears on thè priority memory, press thè PTT switch
momentarily while receiving his signal, to stop priority checking.
Otherwise, to cancel priority monitoring, press [D/MR].
