Memory Channel Scan; Preferential Memory Scan (Pms) - Yaesu VR-120D Operating Manual

While using the Memory mode, press the [SCAN] key to initiate Memory Channel Scan-
ning. As with VFO Search, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the setting of the
"RESUME" mode, described previously. Press the [V/M] key to halt the scan manually.

Preferential Memory Scan (PMS)

This radio also allows you to set up a "Preferential Scan List" of channels which you can
"flag" within the memory system. These channels are designated by a "PS" icon when you
have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
Here is the procedure for setting up the Preferential Scan List:
1. Press the [V/M] key to enter the Memory mode, if you are not using memories already.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the channel which you wish to add to the Preferential
Scan List.
3. Press the [SCAN] key for 2 seconds. The "PS" icon will ap-
pear at the top left corner of the display, indicating that the
channel is now in the Preferential Scan List.
To remove a channel from the Preferential Scan List, repeat the above procedure: rotate
the DIAL knob to select the channel which you wish to delete from the Preferential Scan
List, then press the [SCAN] key for 2 seconds (the "PS" icon will disappear).
To initiate Preferential Memory Scan:
1. Press the [SCAN] key to begin Memory Channel Scanning.
2. Once you have engaged Memory Channel Scanning, press
the [SCAN] key for 2 seconds to initiate Preferential Memory
Scanning (the "P.S" icon will appear). Only the channels which
have a "P.S" icon appended to the channel number will now
be scanned.
3. To return to normal Memory Channel Scanning, just press the [SCAN] key for 2
seconds (the scanner will again scan all memory channels).
4. Press the [V/M] key to cancel Preferential Memory Scanning.
