• Higher signal levels are Red, Yellow, Green, Light-blue,
Blue, and Black (no signal), in that order�
• During a sweep, the scales on both sides of the waterfall
zone are moved with the waterfall� While stopping a
sweep, the scales and the waterfall also freeze�

([MENU] > SET > Scope > Waterfall Speed)
TIP:
• If the tuning step is set too wide, the signals in the
sweep range may not be displayed (they may be
skipped), even if they are strong signals� Therefore,
we recommend that you set the tuning step to 20 kHz
or less to use the Band Scope function� See the Basic
manual Section 3 for details on how to set the tuning
step�
• On the AIR band, you cannot hear the displayed
frequency's audio during a sweep� When "AF Output
(DUAL/AIR Band)" is set to ON, the received audio is
momentarily output during a sweep, and you will know
that a signal is received without looking at the display�
- You can turn "AF Output (DUAL/AIR Band)" ON or
OFF on the MENU screen� (p� 12-30)
- The FM Radio audio output may be interrupted due to
the AF Output (DUAL/AIR Band) function� In that case,
set "AF Output (DUAL/AIR Band)" to OFF, or set "Auto
Mute" to OFF�
