Scan Start/Stop - Icom IC-R2500 Instruction Manual

■ Scan start/stop

D Preparation
Scan resume condition ((p. 29)); program the scan edges
((p. 27)); program two or more memory channels ((p. 17)); set
skip settings ((p. 28)), if desired.
D Operation
qPush [VFO/MR•S.MW] once or twice to select VFO mode
for full/programmed scan; or to select memory mode for
memory/bank scan.
• Select the desired bank in memory type selection mode for bank
scan.
wSet the squelch level to the point where noise is just muted.
e Push and hold [MODE•SCAN] for 1 sec. to start the scan.
• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
• The memory channel readout blinks the scan type as below.
• During full scan
Push [SET•SKIP] to se-
lect full (ALL) or program-
med scan (P00–P49) in
sequence.
While pushing and holding [MODE•SCAN], rotate [DIAL]
also to select full (ALL) or programmed scan (P00–P49).
• During programmed scan
Indicates scan edge channels.
• P01 stands for 01A/01B
• P00 to P49 are available when
they are programmed, and
switches with [SET•SKIP].
IMPORTANT!: To perform memory or bank scan, two or
more memory/bank channels MUST be programmed, oth-
erwise the scan will not start.
r Push [SET•SKIP] (or [ATT•PRIO]) to switch full and pro-
grammed scan (P00 to P49), if VFO is selected in step q.
t To stop the scan, push [MODE•SCAN].
About the scanning steps: The selected tuning step in
each frequency band (in VFO mode) is used during scan.
The bank-link setting can be changed in set mode. See
((p. 40)) for details.
• During memory scan
NOTE: When SSB, CW, AM, FM, WFM or Digital mode
frequencies are programmed into memory channels disorderly,
memory scan takes a lot of time (very slow). Because
changing modes takes a time. In this case, assign the SSB,
CW, AM, FM, WFM or Digital mode frequencies into the
separate bank respectively. And using the bank scan is helpful.
