Ranger RCI-2985DX Manual page 13

The upper and lower scan limits have now been programmed. To activate the scan feature, return the
radio to manual operation and press the SCAN button. If the display shows "SCAN+", the radio will
scan from the lower limit to the upper limit. If "SCAN-" is displayed, the unit will scan from the upper
limit to the lower limit. To change from SCAN+ to SCAN- or vice versa, press SCAN.
4.2.2 MEMORY SCANNING
The RCI-2985DX / RCI-2995DX has 10 non-volatile (i.e. memory resident) memory locations which
can be programmed with any available frequency within the operating band of the radio. The scan
function of the unit can be programmed to scan these memory channels. The radio will then scan only
those memory channels which have been programmed. The first step in utilizing the memory scan
function is to program the desired frequencies into the radio memory. This can be accomplished by
performing the following steps:
(1) With the radio operating in the manual mode, press the PRG (Program) key.
(2) Press the MEM (Memory) key. "PRG" should be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the
LCD display window. In the upper left portion of the display, "MEMORY" should be displayed.
Directly below MEMORY, a number between 0 and 9 will be displayed. This number represents
the memory location currently being displayed. Pressing the MEM key will increase the memory
counter to the next memory location and the contents of that memory location will be displayed.
(3) Using the SHF key and the ( ) Up and ( ) Down arrows, enter the frequency to be stored in the
memory location displayed. After the desired frequency has been entered, press ENT.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) for all the memory locations to be programmed.
(5) After all desired memory locations have been programmed with frequencies, return the unit to the
manual mode of operation by pressing the MAN key.
(6) To initiate memory scanning, press MEM and then press SCAN. As previously discussed, the
display will show "SCAN+" or "SCAN-" to indicate whether the radio is scanning from the
lowest or the highest memory location or vice versa.
(7) To return the radio to normal (non-scanning) operation, press the MAN key.
4.3 OFFSET FREQUENCY OPERATION
The RCI-2985DX / RCI-2995DX has an offset or split frequency feature that will permit the radio to be
operated in a half-duplex mode. This will allow the user to talk on FM repeaters operating in the 10 and
12 Meter dual band.
When programmed, the upper and lower scan limits will
also act as the upper and lower operating limits of the
radio. The radio now cannot be programmed to operate
above or below the scan limits.
