above, to delete the "SKIP" icon from the Memory Bank number indication.
Programmable Band-Scan Limits
Besides band and memory scanning, this transceiver can be set to tune or scan only the
frequencies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example, you may wish
to limit tuning/scanning to 144.3 - 148.0 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW
sub-band between 144.0 and 144.3 MHz
These scanning limits are stored in special "Sub-Band Limit Memories," labeled L0/U0
through L9/U9, with "L" and "U" designations representing the Lower and Upper
limits, respectively.
To utilize this feature, use the following steps:
1.
Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory "L0" and the
upper edge in memory "U0" (or, alternatively, in memories "L1/U1" through
"L9/U9").
2.
With any of these memories recalled, press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to
activate the Programmable Band-Scan Limits. The "PMS" icon will appear. Tuning
and scanning will now be limited within the just-programmed range.
To cancel the Sub-Band Limits and return to normal memory operation, press the
[D/MR(MW)] key momentarily.
Priority Channel Scanning (Dual Watch)
The FT-2900R's scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which
allows you to operate on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home channel, while periodically
checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the
Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause
on that station in accordance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Menu mode "41
RESUME." See page 34.
Here is the procedure for activating Priority Channel Dual Watch operation:
1.
Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key
repeatedly, if necessary.
2.
Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second (the Memory Channel
number will blink), then select the memory channel you wish to be the "Priority"
channel.
3.
Press the [%] key momentarily.
The "PRI" icon will appear to the upper right
