L\1Emory Scanning; Programmable (Band Limit) Memory Scan - Yaesu VX-1R Manual

Memory Scanning
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
O
Select Memory mode by pressing
$§",
if necessary.
0
Hold
!2
or
iS
for I second to initiate scanning.
O
As with VFO scanning, the scanner pauses on any
signal strong enough to open the squelch, and res-
umes scanning according to the Scan Resume mode
set previously.
0
To stop scanning, press PTT or
IS.

How to Skip (Omit) a Channel During
Memory Scanning
As mentioned previously, continuous-carrier stations
like broadcast stations inhibit scanner operation if
you are using the "Carrier Drop" Scan Resume mode,
because the scanner doesn't resume once it pauses.
Such channels can be set to be "skipped" during
scanning, if you like:
O
Select Memory mode by pressing
~·,
if necessary.
D
Press
:ii.
or
e.
as necessary, to select the memory
to be skipped during scanning.
O
Press
'19
momentarily (less than I second), then
press either
:ii.
or
e
momentarily. A small ...
appears to the left of the memory number, indicat-
ing it is to be ignored during scanning.
O
Later, to re-enable the memory for scanning, repeat
the above three steps.
A memory set to be "skipped" is always accessible
via manual memory selection using
:ii.
or
!:S.
Programmable (Band Limit) Memory
Scan
This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for
either scanning or manual VFO operation. For exam-
ple, you might wish to set limits (in North America)
of 144.300 and 148.000 MHz to prevent encroach-
ment into the SSB/CW "weak signal" portion of the
band below 144.300 MHz. Here's how to do this:
D
Select the VFO mode by pressing
~·,
if necessary.
O
Using the Memory Storage procedure described
earlier, store your lower sub-band limit ( 144.300
MHz perthe above example) into Memory #IL (the
L designates the Lower sub-band limit).
D
Likewise, store your upper sub-band limit (e.g.,
148.000 MHz) into Memory #I
U
(the
U
designates
the Upper sub-band limit).
D
Switch to the Memory mode by pressing
~·
once,
then press
~
or
e
to select Memory #IL .
O
Turn the Dial one click in either direction. The
radio switches to the VFO mode, and the PS ("Pro-
grammable Scan") indicator appears in the upper
left-hand corner of the LCD.
