SCAN OPERATION

■

Scan types

Scanning automatically searches for signals and
makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or
listening purposes. The IC-7200 has two scan types;
Programmed scan and Memory scan.
PROGRAMMED SCAN
Repeatedly scans between two scan edge frequencies
(scan edge memory channels P1 and P2).
Scan edge P1 or P2
This scan is for the VFO mode.
■

Preparation

• Channels
For a programmed scan:
Program scan edge frequencies into scan edge memory
channels P1 and P2.
For a memory scan:
Program two or more memory channels other than scan
edge memory channels.
• Scan resume ON/OFF
In the Set mode, you can select the scan to resume or can-
cel when a signal is detected.
Scan resume must be set to ON or OFF before starting a
scan. See page 31 for ON/OFF setting and scan resume de-
tails.
• Scan speed
You can select High or Low scan speeds in the Set mode.
See page 31 for details.

MEMORY SCAN
Repeatedly scans all programmed memory channels
that are not blank.

Mch 199 Mch 7
This scan is for the memory mode.
• Squelch status
❍ Scan starts with the squelch open
For a programmed scan:
When the tuning step is 1 kHz or less:
The scan continues until it is manually stopped by push-
ing , and does not pause*, even if signals are de-
SCAN
tected.
* The scan pauses when the squelch is closed and then
opens (Scan resumes after 10 seconds has passed when
the scan resume is ON. The scan is cancelled when re-
sume is OFF).
When the tuning step is more than 5 kHz:
he scan pauses on each step when the scan re-
T
sume is ON; not applicable when resume is OFF.
For a memory scan:
The scan pauses on each channel when the scan re-
sume is ON; not applicable when it is OFF.
❍ Scan starts with squelch closed
The scan stops when a signal is detected.
If you set scan resume ON in the Set mode, the scan pauses
for 10 seconds when detecting a signal, then resumes. When
a signal disappears while the scan is paused, scanning re-
sumes 2 seconds later.
If the [RF/SQL] control function is set to
N
OTE:
"AUTO," the squelch is always open in the SSB, CW
and RTTY modes. (pp. 5, 17, 29)
