2.
Press and hold in the [BAND(BAND DN)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob
to select the bandwidth for the Programmed VFO scanner. Available selections are ±1
MHz, ±2 MHz, ±5 MHz, ALL, PMS-X, and BAND.
ALL: The scanner will sweep all frequencies.
PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS
frequency pair. See page 40 for details.
BAND: The scanner will sweep frequencies only on the current band.
3.
Press the [BAND(BAND DN)] key momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation.
4.
Press and hold in the [V/M(PRI)] key for one second to start scanning.
5.
If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink during
this "Pause" condition.
6.
The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
7.
To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or [V/M(PRI)] key.
R.F. Says: 1) When you start the Programmed VFO Scanner, the VX-120/170 will be
changing frequency in the upward direction. If you want to change direction of the scan while
it is underway, rotate the DIAL knob one click in the opposite direction (in this case, one click
counter-clockwise). You'll see the scanner turn around and change frequency downward!
2) You may change the scanner's method of operation so that the VFO frequency will jump to
the low band edge of the next band when the VFO frequency reaches the high edge of the
current band (or vice versa). See page 78 regarding Set Mode Item 54: VFO.BND.
Setting the Squelch Level during active Scanning operation
The VX-120/170 allows adjustment of the Squelch level "on the fly" while you are scanning.
1.
While the scanner is engaged, press the [F/W] key, then press the MONI key (the current
squelch level (e.g. "S 1") will appear in fine print above the frequency display).
2.
Rotate the DIAL to select the desired Squelch level.
3.
Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
In this case, pressing the PTT switch this one time will not causing scanning to stop.
Memory Scanning
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1.
Select the Memory mode by pressing the [MR(SKIP)] key, if necessary.
