Pms - Yaesu FTDX9000D - DATA MANAGEMENT Operation Manual

To limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory
Scanning (PMS) feature, which utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs ("P-1L/P-1U" through "P-9L/P-9U"). The
PMS feature is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur
license class.

1. Store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit fre-
quencies into the memory pair "P1L" and "P1U," re-
spectively, or any other "L/U" pair of memories in
the special PMS memory area. See page 124 for de-
tails regarding memory storage.
2. Press the [ V/M ] key to enter the Memory mode.
3. Press the [ MCH/GRP ] key momentarily.
When you press the [ MCH/GRP ] switch, the Red
LED imbedded within the switch should light up, in-
dicating that you are ready to choose a channel into
which to store the data.

If the Red LED imbedded in the [ MCH/GRP ] switch
does not light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp
to the right of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob is not illumi-
nated. It is, press the [ A/B ] switch to make it go out,
then press the [ MCH/GRP ] key again.
4. Rotate the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob to select memory
channel "P1L" or "P1U."
5. Rotate the Main (VFO-A) receiver's [ SQL ] control
so that the background noise is just silenced.
6. Turn the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob slightly (to acti-
vate memory tuning). Tuning and scanning are now
limited to the range within the P1L/P1U limits until
you press the [ V/M ] key to return to memory channel
or Main band (VFO-A) operation.
7. Press and hold in the microphone's [ UP ] or [ DOWN ]
key for 2 second to start scanning in the specified
direction.

If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the
decimal point between the "MHz" and "kHz"
digits of the frequency display will blink.
If the incoming signal disappears, scanning
will resume in about five seconds.
On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes,
the scanner will pause on a received signal, then
will step across the signal very slowly, giving
you time to stop the scan, if you like. In these
modes on the VFO, the scanner does not stop,
however.
If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing
the microphone's [ UP ] or [ DOWN ] key will
cause scanning to resume instantly.
If you rotate the Main Tuning Dial in the op-
posite directin from the current scanning direc-
tion (in other words, you rotate the dial to the
left when scanning toward a higher frequency),
the direction of the scan will reverse.
If you press the microphone's PTT switch during scan-
ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT switch
during scanning will not cause transmission, however.
