Delay Time Programming In Scan Mode (Vhf Only) - AOR The New Classic AR3030 Operating Manual

and signal levels between different frequencies. If the scan speed is too quick,
then weaker signals would be completely missed.
The pause time for memory scan may be programmed between the limits of 1
and 10 seconds. The factory default is 5 seconds.
For example, should you wish to program pause time to 3 seconds carry out
the following sequence.
While in VFO mode press [SCAN] to start memory channel scan.
Press [MEMO] to inform the AR3030 that you wish to reprogramme scan pause
time. The LCD will show "PAUSE 5" and the figure 5 flashes to indicate the
present value.
Press [3] to alter the pause time from 5 to 3 seconds. Figure 3 replaces the
previous figure and flashes to confirm input.
Press [ENT/BS] to complete the sequence, a beep will confirm complete data
input.

6-20 Delay time programming in scan mode (VHF only)

The scanning system is handled slightly differently on the VHF bands when an
optional VHF converter is fitted.
During VHF scanning, the position of squelch (OPEN/CLOSED) determines
when the set stops scanning and for how long.
Basically the receiver will scan the memory channels until the squelch opens, it
will then remain on the busy channel until the squelch closes again. It is then
assumed that the channel has become clear so the set is ready to start
scanning again.
However rather than immediately scanning, the receiver will "delay" for a short
time to allow for a reply from an airband control tower etc.
The programmable delay range is from 0.5 seconds to 3 seconds in 0.1 second
increments. The factory default is 1.5 seconds.
