Scanning on the RX-8

Turn off the transmitter(s).
•
Press the INC key to initiate a scan.
•
Please note the scanning range will be set in the scan bandwidth
menu. So, for example if the scan bandwidth is set to 30MHz the RX-8 will scan 15MHz below and 15MHz
above the center frequency.
While the RX-8 is scanning, the frequency being examined is displayed on the bottom half of the screen and
•
a graphic map of the RF that is found will be displayed with a vertical line extending up from the baseline.
The length of the line indicates the level or strength of the found RF at that frequency.
Pressing the MENU key while scanning will abort the scan.
•

Selecting a frequency

When the scan is complete a suggested frequency will be shown, and a
vertical blinking line will be drawn on the display.
At that point:
Press the RX1/2 RECEIVER key to select the desired receiver 1 thru 8.
•
Please note if single mode on the odd number receiver will be active.
Press the INC key to accept the frequency.
•
Press the DEC key to select another frequency.
•
The scan results are available as long as there is valid scan data, so this screen can be revisited, and different
frequencies can be chosen. Please note power cycling the RX-8 will clear the scan data.

Set Bandwidth

SCAN BW: 30 MHZ
530.0 TO 560.0
The scan bandwidth sets how much spectrum the RX-8 will scan below and above the center frequency. So, for
example if the scan bandwidth is set to 30MHz the RX-8 will scan 15MHz below and 15Mhz above the center
frequency. The scan bandwidth can be adjusted from 4 to 30MHz.
