Smart Search™ Operation - Yaesu FT-100D Operating Manual

Smart Search ™ Operation
The Smart Search™ feature automatically stores frequencies where activity is encountered
on the current band. When Smart Search™ is engaged, the transceiver quickly searches
above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (without
stopping on them even momentarily). These frequencies are stored in a special Smart
Search™ memory bank, consisting of 40 memories (20 above the current frequency, 20
below the current frequency). This feature available on the FM and AM modes. This fea-
ture is especially helpful when traveling, as you can instantly store active FM repeater
frequencies without having to look up the frequencies in a reference book.
I. Set the
SQl
knob to the point where background noise is silenced. A typical setting,
for effective Smart Search™ operation, will be at 12 o'clock or slightly clockwise from
this position.
2. Set the VFO frequency on which you wish to begin the search (the Smart Search™
feature is available on the VFO mode only).
3. Press the [FUNC] key, as needed, to recall Operating Function Row 4 [SKP, SCN,
OW, SCH], then press the [D](SCH) key to activate Smart Search™ (the "SCH" icon
will become bold on the display).

Y:,
second. The "SCH" icon will blink, and
the FT -100 will sweep the current band once in each direction, starting on the current
frequency. All channels where activity is present (up to 20 in each direction) will be
loaded into the Smart Search™ memories. Whether or not all 40 memories are filled,
the search will stop after one sweep in each direction.
5. Now you can tum the SELECT knob to select the Smart Search™ memories.
6. To disable Smart Search™ operation, press the [D](SCH) key momentarily (the "SCH"
icon will again become faint).
