Scanning A Single Memory Bank; Memory Bank Linking - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

The memory bank identifier (such as "A") will be displayed on the left of the
third line of the LCD and memory bank "A" will be scanned with channel
numbers changing.
When an "active" channel has been located (busy so the squelch opens) the
scan process will temporarily pause on the active channel and the full memory
location (such as "A03") will be displayed on the left of the third line of the LCD
with any identifying accompanying text to the right.
Finally when the channel becomes clear again (the signal disappears) and
squelch closes, the receiver will wait for an additional two seconds (in default /
NEWUSER status) to allow for a reply on the channel before resuming the
scanning process.
Note: The key sequence [2VFO] [FUNC] [SCAN] should achieve SCAN
regardless of what the receiver is doing).
When stopped on an active channel, press [ENT] to transfer the memory
data (frequency, mode, step, step offset & attenuator) to the VFO where
you may tune away from the channel or listen to it indefinitely until you
decide otherwise.

The memory bank which is currently being scanned will be displayed on the left

changing.
Should you wish to scan a different memory bank, select a different bank using
the numeric keypad.
For example, to select memory bank "A" press [1A]. The letter "A" will be
displayed on the left of the third line of the LCD and memory bank "A" will be
scanned with channel numbers changing.
10-6 Memory bank linking "SET M-SCAN / BNK.LK" for scanning ALL
memory banks...
When shipped from the factory using default settings all memory banks are
UNLINKED so may only be scanned on an individual basis by selecting the
scan bank identifier via the numeric keypad ("A", "B", "C" etc).
It is possible to quickly link ALL memory banks together so they will be
scanned as one group. Alternatively it is possible to select any number of
banks to be scanned as a group such as A, C, H, c, e, i.
Note: Of course you may only select the password protected banks if you
have keyed in the PASSWORD or have not set the password facility.
To LINK ALL memory banks for scanning the "SET M-SCAN" menu is used.
To access the menu press first ensure the receiver is in SCAN mode ("SCAN"
