Programmed Scan; Auto Memory Write Scan - Icom IC-R8500 Instruction Manual

D Programmed scan
Programmed scan (and auto memory write scan)
searches for signals within a specified frequency
range, using the selected tuning step increments. The
result is like an 'automatic' rotating of the main dial.
Preparation—setting the scan range:
Push and hold [PROG] to enter the 'prog' bank, then
input the desired edge frequencies, mode and tun-
ing steps. Refer to p. 27 for details.

name area.

scan range can be selected using the keypad.
➪ Push a numeral key before or after pushing the
[PROG] key.

frequencies specified as skip channels in all 1000

as programmed scan. However, when a signal is
received, the received frequency is automatically
written into a memory channel in the auto write bank.
