The FT-7900R's scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows
you to operate on a VFO, Memory channel, Home channel, or Weather Broadcast Channel,
while periodically checking a user-defined "Priority" Memory Channel for activity. If a
station is received on the "Priority" Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the
scanner will pause on that station in accordance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Menu
#37 (SCAN
SCAN). See page 75.
