SCANS

I Scan types

PROGRAMMED SCAN
Repeatedly scans between two scan edge frequencies
(scan edge memory channels P1 and P2).
Scan edge
P1 or P2
This scan operates in VFO mode.
MEMORY SCAN
Repeatedly scans all programmed memory channels.
Mch 2
Mch 1
SEL
Mch 99
SEL
This scan operates in memory mode.

I Preparation

• Channels
For programmed scan:
Program scan edge frequencies into scan edge mem-
ory channels P1 and P2.
For ∂ ∂ F scan:
Set the ∂F span (∂F scan range) in the scan screen.
For memory scan:
Program 2 or more memory channels except scan
edge memory channels.
For select memory scan:
Designate 2 or more memory channels as select mem-
ory channels. To designate the channel as a select
memory channel, choose a memory channel, then
push [F3 ] in the scan screen, or push [F5
in the memory name screen.
• Scan resume ON/OFF
You can select the scan to resume or cancel when de-
tecting a signal, in set mode. Scan resume ON/OFF
must be set before operating a scan. See p. 70 for
ON/OFF setting and scan resume condition details.

not pause even if it
detects signals.
Scan stops when detecting a signal.
If you set scan resume ON in scan set

signal disappears while scan is paused,
scan resumes 2 sec. later.
