Smart Search Operation - Yaesu VR-5000 Operating Manual

Smart Search Operation

The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where
activity is encountered by your radio. Smart Search will sweep the band of frequencies
within the current "PMS" frequency pair (described previously), making a note of where
activity is encountered and automatically loading those frequencies into a special Smart
Search memory bank. The sweep will not pause on any of these busy channels, however;
the frequency will automatically be stored without interrupting the scan.

1. Press the [ F ] key momentarily, then press the [ ENT ( SET )] key.

repeatedly sweep until all Smart Search memories are full.
6. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the "END" menu option, then press the
[ ENT ( SET )] key.
