Scan - Scanning Memory Channels & Banks; Starting To Scan, Considerations; Scanning A Memory Bank - AOR AR2700 Operating Manual

(9) SCAN - scanning memory channels & banks
The AR2700 has a SCAN mode whereby the contents stored in the MEMORY
CHANNELS ARE AUTOMATICALLY RECALLED AND MONITORED very
quickly for activity - scanned.
* It is important that you do not confuse SCAN and SEARCH modes. *
SEARCH mode (covered later in this manual) automatically TUNES THE
RECEIVER THROUGH ALL FREQUENCIES between two specified frequency
limits looking for active frequencies.

9-1 Starting to SCAN, considerations...

It is presumed that you have already stored your favourite and commonly used
frequencies into the memory banks (as per section 7 of this manual).
A total of 500 memory channels are provided which are divided into 10 banks,
each having 50 channels. The memory banks are identified by the numbers
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 & 9 and channels numbered from 00 to 49.
Keep your memory banks tidy - for best scan speed
In order to achieve the maximum scanning speed, it is advisable to keep all
similar frequencies and modes grouped together within the memory banks.
The greater the frequency change between memory channels, then the further
the receiver's VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) has to travel and the slower
the scan rates. Similarly, when many changes of mode are called for the more
switching has to be accomplished and the scan speed may be reduced.
Memory channel data may be entered in duplicate into several channels.
This will ensure the channel data is scanned more frequently to increase
the chances of activity being detected.
Should a number of different modes and wide range of frequencies be used,
then the SCAN process may be affected by noise or differences in squelch
characteristic on some frequencies and modes.

9-2 SCANNING a memory bank...

For example, to SCAN the contents of memory bank "0" (channels 00-49)
which have been previously stored with memory data.
There are two ways to start scanning:
Firstly
From "MANUAL" or "SEARCH" modes:
Press [SCAN] to enter "MEMORY RECALL" mode then press [SCAN]
again and hold the key for more than 1.5 seconds to initiate the scan
