SCAN OPERATION

■ Scan

Scanning is a versatile function that can automatically
search for signals and makes it easier to locate sta-
tions to contact or listen to, or to skip unwanted chan-
nels or frequencies.

D About the scan function

• In the VFO mode
The frequencies that are set as "PSKIP" (p. 8-6) are
skipped during a scan.
NOTE:
One or more pare of the scan edge channels must
be programmed to start a program scan.
• In the memory mode
The frequencies that are set as skip channels "PSKIP"
and "SKIP" (p. 8-10) are not scanned.
NOTE:
Two or more memory channels must be programmed
to start a memory scan.
[Duplex (DUP) scan]
The Duplex scan searches for both TX and RX fre-
quencies which are used in duplex operation.
(pp. 1-4, 1-5)
• The "DUP–" or "DUP+" icon is displayed in the du-
plex mode.
• A duplex scan will not start when the frequency off-
set is set to "0.000 MHz."
[Tone scan]
The tone scan searches for tone frequencies or
DTCS codes that are used by stations using the Tone
Squelch function.
• A tone scan can be made in any mode: VFO, mem-
ory or Call channel.
• During a tone scan, rotate [DIAL] to switch scan di-
rection.
Refer to "Tone Squelch function/DTCS code
Squelch function" (pp. 11-7 to 11-10) for details.
