Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [ V/M ( DW ) MT ] key, if necessary.
2. Press and hold in the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key for one second, and rotate the
DIAL knob while holding in the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key to select the desired
Memory Scan mode. Available selections are ALL CH, TAG1, TAG2, BAND, and
PMS-X.
ALL CH
: The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.
TAG1
:
The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same "first" digit
of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.
TAG2
:
The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same "first" and
"second" digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scan-
ning started.
BAND
: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized on
the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.
PMS-X
: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS fre-
quency pair. See page 52 for details.
Note: When an alpha-numeric "Tag" is appended to the Low sub-band limit
memory channel, the alpha-numeric "Tag" will appear while you are select-
ing the Memory Scan mode.
3. Release the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key to initiate scanning.
4. As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-Re-
sume mode set previously. When there are no memory channels
corresponding to the selected Memory Scan mode, the "
ERR
" notation will appear on the display.
5. To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or the [ V/M ( DW ) MT ] key.
How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a memory channel due to temporary noise or interfer-
ence, you can mark it to be skipped by pressing the [ F/W ] key, followed by the [ 5 ( SKIP )]
key while the scanner has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instanta-
neously resume, and that channel will not be scanned henceforth.
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-
tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the "Carrier Drop" Scan-
Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to
resume scanning.
Here is the procedure for skipping certain memories during scanning:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press the [ F/W ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
