■ Quick Channel Search

When looking for a particular programmed memory
channel, it is quicker to activate the search mode as
explained below. This mode can also be used to
search only for vacant (non-programmed) channels.
Programmed Channel Search:
While in Memory channel mode, press [1MHz] to
toggle the search function ON or OFF.
• "MHz" lights when the function is ON. Now, only
those channels that contain programmed data
can be selected.
• Attempting to change channels when there are
no programmed channels to select causes an
alarm to sound. The current channel cannot be
changed in this case.
Vacant Channel Search:
While in Memory Scroll mode {page 56}, press
[1MHz] to toggle the function ON or OFF.
• "MHz" lights when the function is ON. Only those
channels that do not contain data can be
selected.
• Attempting to change channels when there are
no vacant channels to select causes an alarm to
sound. The current channel cannot be changed
in this case.
