2 ) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
The desired operating frequency may be entered directly from the keypad. The first "1" in
the frequency does not need to be entered, as it is "assumed" by the microprocessor.
To enter a frequency directly, just key in the 10 MHz, 1 MHz, and the kHz digits.
Examples: To enter 146.560 MHz, press [ 4 ] [ 6 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 0 ]
To enter 146.5625 MHz (12.5 kHz steps), [ 4 ] [ 6 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 2 ]
3 ) Scanning
Press and hold in either the [ ( MHz )] or [ ( MHz )] key for
one second to initiate upward or downward scanning, re-
spectively (Manual VFO Scan).
For scanning within a limited sub-band range, from the VFO
mode, press and hold in the [ 6 ( A/N )] key for one second to
begin scanning toward a higher frequency within the previ-
ously-defined sub-band (Programmed VFO Scan). Details

regarding sub-band setup may be found on page 37.
If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a
lower frequency, instead of a higher frequency), just rotate
the DIAL one click in the counter-clockwise direction while
the FT-270R is scanning. The scanning direction will be
reversed. To revert to scanning toward a higher frequency
once more, rotate the DIAL one click clockwise.

The scanner will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the Squelch
threshold. The FT-270R will then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the
RESUME ). Press the PTT switch momentarily to
"RESUME" mode (Set Mode Item 32:
cancel the scanning. This only stops the scan; it does not cause transmission to occur. See
page 38 for details regarding Scan Operation.
