Scanning; Setting The Scan-Resume Technique - Yaesu FT-8800R Operating Manual

S
CANNING
The FT-8800R allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or
a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on
that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin, take
a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it
halts on a signal.

Setting the Scan-Resume Technique

Two options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:
TIME: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for
five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within five seconds, the
scanner will resume even if the stations are still active.
BUSY: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. Two seconds after the
carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission, the scanner
will resume.
To set the Scan-Resume mode:
1. Press the [ SET ] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob to select Menu #34 (SCAN).
3. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob
to select the desired scan-resume mode.
4. Press and hold in the "Main" band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
Note: The default condition for this Menu Item is "TIME."
