Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only)
Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do not
wish to scan. For example, broadcast signals (which are transmitted continuously) will cause
the scanner to stop, and such channels may be skipped so as to avoid this inconvenience.
To remove a channel from the scanning loop:
1. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the
Function Row 2 [ MW, MC, TAG ] appears on the display.
2. Recall the memory channel to be skipped.
( MC ) key momentarily. The "hyphen" in the
3. Press the
memory channel number will change to become a "dot"; this
shows that this channel now is not included in the scanning loop.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary to skip all the
channels you do not wish to scan.
5. Initiate memory scanning; you will observe that the channels
you marked to be skipped are not included in the scanning loop.
6. Press the PTT switch to stop the scan; you may now use the
the channels manually - one at a time - and you will observe that the "Skipped" channels
are, nonetheless, available for recall by manual means.
7. You may restore a previously-skipped channel to the scanning loop by selecting the
channel manually, then pressing the
to become a "hyphen."
Scanning operation requires that you have the transceiver's audio squelched. The
transceiver then "assumes" that the opening of the squelch corresponds to the dis-
covery of a signal you may wish to listen to.
Once the scan has been halted, the transceiver pauses on the signal and stays locked
on its frequency for five seconds (default pause time). Thereafter, scanning will re-
sume whether or not the other station's transmission has ended. The scan resume
interval can be set to 3/5/10 seconds, or off ( whereby scanning quits when a signal is
received) via Menu #41 (RESUME); see page 66 for details.
