10 SCAN

Scan is a function that searches for signals by automatically
altering the frequency. This transceiver makes use of the following
scan methods to search for signals.

Program Scan
Program Scan performs scan between the range specified by the
start and end frequencies which are registered in the each of
memory channels for specific band segments (P0 to P9).
• Configure the frequency range for Program Scan in the memory
channels for specific band segments (P0 to P9). Up to 10
frequency ranges that are transmitted by specific stations can
be preconfigured. Enabling standby in a nearby frequency
makes it easy to perform tuning to a specific station when the
station starts communication in the preconfigured frequency
range.
Program Scan performs scan between the start and end
●
frequencies of a memory channel for specific band
segments and moves to the next channel after scanning
of the specified frequency range has ended.
While scanning is in progress, turning the Tuning or
●
[MULTI/CH] control allows the frequency to be changed
quickly. The same operation can also be used to change
the scanning direction.
Scanning is performed in the ascending order from low
●
to high frequency. Configuring the end frequency to a
value smaller than the start frequency by turning the
Tuning or [MULTI/CH] control reverses the scanning
direction (high to low frequency).
Scanning is performed based on the step frequency of
●
the Tuning control when in the SSB, CW, FSK and PSK
modes, while it is based on the step frequency of the
[MULTI/CH] control when in the FM mode, and fixed at
100 Hz in the AM mode.
Scanning stops when signals are received while
●
performing Program Scan (VFO Scan) in the FM mode
or during Memory Scan (All-channel Scan or Group
Scan) or Quick Memory Scan regardless of the operating
mode. For more information on the conditions to resume
scanning, please refer to
Resuming Scan" (10-4).
During standby for the CTCSS tone in the FM mode,
●
scan stops only when there is a matching CTCSS tone.
When the [SQL] control is turned to the right to a level
●
that far exceeds the squelch threshold while in the FM
mode, scanning may not stop even at a channel where
a signal is present. Configure the squelch level to a point
that is near the squelch threshold.
Purpose
Performs scan in the frequency
ranges that are registered in the
memory channels for specific band
segments (P0 to P9).
Performs scan on the entire RX
frequency band. When Program
Scan is set to OFF for all the
memory channels for specific band
segments, Program Scan switches
automatically to VFO Scan.
However, when VFO Scan is
selected, VFO Scan is performed
even when not all channels are set
to OFF.
Scans all Memory channels from 00
to 99, P0 to P9, and E0 to E9.
Scans the grouped memory
channels.
Scans the Quick Memory channels.

Frequency Range
Scanning can be configured to the frequency range specified in
the memory channels for specific band segments (Program Scan)
or the entire RX frequency band (VFO Scan).
To perform Program Scan, register the memory channels for
specific band segments.
1 Press [M/V] to switch to VFO mode.
2 Press and hold F5 [SCAN] to display the VFO/
Program Scan configuration screen.

5 Press F4 [
] to select whether to scan the
memory channel for specific band segments.
• Pressing F4 [ ] each time selects (performs scan) or
deselects (does not perform scan) the checkbox.
• When performing VFO Scan, deselect the checkboxes for
all the memory channels for specific band segments or press
[VFO/PRG] to switch the display to "VFO SCAN".
• Pressing F6 [SEL.ALL] selects the checkboxes for all the
memory channels for specific band segments.
• Pressing F7 [CLR.ALL] deselects the checkboxes for all the
memory channels for specific band segments.
