Scanning; Setting The Scan-Resume Mode - Yaesu VR-160 Operating Manual

S
CANNING
The VR-160 allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or a
portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on
that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin,
take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning
after it halts on a signal.

hold there for the selected resume time. If you do not take action to
disable the scanner within that time period, the scanner will resume
even if the stations are still active.
In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. When the
carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission,
the scanner will resume. In the case of constant-carrier signals like
Weather Station broadcasts, the scanner will likely remain on this fre-
quency indefinitely. The Scan Re-start Delay time (default interval: 2
seconds) is set by the Set Mode Item 44: SCAN RE-START.
In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not
restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you
wish to resume.
