The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically where activity is
encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the VR-160 will search above
and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (without stopping
on them even momentarily). These frequencies are stored into a special Smart Search
memory bank, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15 below the
current frequency, plus the current frequency itself).
Two basic operating modes for Smart Search are available:
SINGLE: In this mode, the transceiver will sweep the current band once in each
direction starting on the current frequency. All channels where activity is
present will be loaded into the Smart Search memories, whether or not all
31 memories are filled. The search will stop after one sweep in each direc-
tion.
CONTINUOUS: In this mode, the transceiver will make one pass in each direction as with
One-Shot searching. However, if all 31 channels are not filled after the
first sweep, the radio will continue sweeping until they are all filled.
