NOTE: A tone scan function is available to search for subaudible tones (e.g. when you want to find a subaudible tone fre-
quency necessary to open a repeater). See p. 55 for details.
Repeatedly scans all frequen-
cies over the entire band.
Used as the simplest scan
without any preliminary set-
tings necessary.
Repeatedly scans memory
channels except those set as
skip channels. Used for often-
called channels and for by-
passing normally busy
channels such as repeater
frequencies.

5 pairs of scan edges are
available and scans 1A–1b
(P1), 2A–2b (P2), 3A–3b (P3),
4A–4b (P4), 5A–5b (P5).
4 resume conditions are avail-
able: 3 timer scans and pause
