Vfo And Memory Scanning; Vfo/Memory Scan - Yaesu FTDX101MP Operation Manual

VFO and Memory Scanning

Either the VFO or the memory channels of the FTDX101 may be scanned, and the receiver will halt scan-
ning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch.
In the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink
and the scanner will slow down (but does not stop).

VFO/Memory Scan

1. Set the frequency or Memory channel at
which scanning is to begin.
2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the back-
ground noise is just silenced (page 42,
43).
MAIN band SUB band
3. Press the [FUNC] key.
4. Touch [SCAN] to start scanning.
● You can start scanning by pressing and
holding the UP or DWN key on the micro-
phone.
● If the scanner halts on an incoming signal,
the decimal point between the "MHz" and
"kHz" digits of the frequency display will
blink.
● The operation when a signal is received
during scanning varies depending on the
mode type.
Other than
SSB, CW

● If the scan has paused on a signal, press-
ing the microphone UP or DWN button will
cause scanning to resume instantly.
● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while
scanning is in progress, the VFO scanning
or memory channel scanning will continue
up or down in accordance with the direction
of the Dial Knob rotation. (In other words, if
the dial is rotated to the left when scanning
toward a higher frequency or memory chan-
nel number, the direction of the scan will
reverse.)

Scanning will pause.
Scanning speed will be
slower, but scanning will
not be paused.
To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or
press any key on the front panel of the transceiv-
er.
If the microphone PTT button is pressed during
scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However,
pressing the PTT button while scanning will not
cause transmission.
● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to
prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from
initiating scanning, you may disable scanning
control from the microphone using Menu item
[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →
[MIC SCAN] (page 98).
● During Memory Group operation, only the
channels within the current Memory Group will
be scanned.
● The manner in which the scanner resumes af-
ter it has paused on a signal may be selected
by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING]
→ [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME] (page
98).
The default "TIME" (5 sec) setting will cause
the scanner to resume scanning after five
seconds; however the scan setting may be
changed to resume only after the received sig-
nal has dropped out.
