Memory Bank Scanning - Yaesu VR-500 Operating Manual

Memory Mode

Memory Bank Scanning

This feature allows you to scan one or more Memory Banks during Memory Channel
Scanning, while ignoring other banks. For example, you may wish to load broadcast sta-
tions into certain Memory Banks for convenient recall, but ignore them during scanning
(as they are always active, the scanner will halt on every such station).
To set up scanning of certain Memory Banks:
If you are in the Memory mode, change to the VFO mode by pressing the [CLR (P.SET)]
key.
Press the [ENT(SET/NAME)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to activate the
"Set" (Menu) mode.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #18 [Bank Link].
Rotate the DIAL knob while pressing the [FUNC] key to select the Memory Bank
which you wish to include while scanning. Now release the [FUNC] key.
Rotate the DIAL knob a few clicks; you will observe an un-
derline ("_") icon toggling on and off below the Memory Bank
number. The "_" indicates that the Memory Bank is now in
the Preferential Bank Scanning List.
Now again press and hold in the [FUNC] key, and rotate the
DIAL knob to select other Memory Banks to be included in (or excluded from) the
Preferential Bank Scanning List. Release the [FUNC] key, and rotate the DIAL knob
to apply or remove the underline from the selected Memory Bank.
Press the [ENT(SET)] key when all selections have been made.
Now rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #17 [Bank Scan].
Rotate the DIAL knob while pressing the [FUNC] key to set
this Menu Item to "ON."
Press the [CLR (P.SET)] key to exit to normal VFO operation.
Press the [1(MEMO)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to enter the Memory mode.
Press the [3(SCH/SCN)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to initiate Memory Bank
Scanning. Only the channels in the Memory Bank which have an underline ("_") be-
low the Memory Bank number will be scanned.
To return to normal Memory Channel Scanning, first press the [CLR (P.SET)] key to
return to the VFO mode, then re-enter the "Set" (Menu) mode by pressing the
[ENT(SET/NAME)] key while holding in the [FUNC] key. Rotate the DIAL knob to
select Menu #17, and set Menu #17 to "OFF" by pressing the [FUNC] key and rotat-
ing the DIAL knob one click . Press the [CLR (P.SET)] key to exit the Menu mode.
