2.
Press and hold in either the [ ] or [ ] key for one second to initiate upward or downward
scanning, respectively.
3.
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.
4.
The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
5.
To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or [MR(SKIP)] key.
How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station
will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the "Carrier Drop" Scan-Resume
mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume
scanning. Such channels may be "Skipped" during scanning, if you like:
1.
Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2.
Press the [F/W] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.
3.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 42: SKIP.
4.
Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
5.
Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select "SKIP." The current Memory Channel will now be
ignored during scanning. The "ONLY" selection is used for "Preferential Memory Scan,"
described in the next section.
6.
When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the setting and exit to
normal operation.
When you recall the "skipped" memory channel manually, a small " " icon will appear at the
left of the memory channel number, indicating it is to be ignored during scanning.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select "OFF" in step 5 above (the "Skipped"
channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the
DIAL knob in the MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
R.F. Says: In the factory default configuration, you may recall Set Mode Item 42: SKIP by
pressing [F/W]
[8(P2)].
Preferential Memory Scan
The VX-120/170 also allows you to set up a "Preferential Scan List" of channels which you
can "flag" within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking " " icon
when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
