displayed at the
left side of the
frequency), and use the CHANNEL
knob to select any memory in the
band you wish to scan.
(3)
Press a microphone DOWN/UP button,
or the DOWN or UP button above the
main tuning knob, and hold it for -
second until scanning starts.
The scanner will start checking all
memories in the band. If you want to scan
only FM memories, press the FM CH
button. If you want to scan all bands,
press the BAND key once briefly (you can
press it again briefly to change scanning
to only the band currently being scanned).
If you want to exclude a memory from
scanning, recall the memory (normally, not
while scanning), and press the MR key
while the memory data is displayed. You
will see a small arrowhead appear under
the "CH"
to the right of the memory
number, indicating this memory will be
ignored when scanning.
If you've just read through the last few
paragraphs without actually trying these
features, you may want to go though them
again now while performing the keypresses:
these functions can be very useful, but are
unique in scanning systems, and so may be
hard to remember without some practice.

Programmable Band Limits: the PMS
System
The PMS (Programmable Memory Scan)
feature allows you
to set your own
subband limits for tuning and scanning, on
each band. These
limits are stored in
special PMS memories (two per band), and
may be recalled at any time.
To store your subband limits:
(1) Press the VFO key to make sure you
are operating on a vfo.
(2)
Press the VFO A switch (to the left
of the tuning knob), and tune this vfo
to the desired lower subband edge.
(3) Press the VFO B switch (next to the
A switch), and tune this vfo to the
desired upper subband edge.
(4)
Press F+PMS. This stores the frequen-
cies from the two vfos into the two
PMS memories for that band. Oper-
ation remains on the vfo.
To activate the PMS feature after storing
your subband limits, just press the PMS
key. "PMS" is displayed to the right of the
frequency.
You can now select any mode and tune
within your selected subband using the
main
tuning knob, DOWN/UP keys or
microphone buttons. You can also use the
FM
CH or SSB CH switches and
the
CHANNEL knob for channelized tuning as
you would on a vfo. The MHz/CH keys
have a special function: the lefthand
(DOWN) key
jumps to the low edge of
your subband, and the righthand (UP) key
jumps to the high edge of your subband.
You can also scan your PMS subband,
using the same method as for scanning a
vfo (see the first paragraphs of §4.10).
To escape PMS operation, press either the
VFO or MR key, or one of the CALL keys.

Repeater (semi-duplex) Operation
The FT-736R provides three methods to
work split (receive on one frequency and
transmit on another),
to meet different
operating needs. On the 144 MHz band,
the ARS feature automatically enables re-
peater splits when operating in standard
