Channel-Skip Scanning
Continuous-carrier stations like ATIS (Automatic Termi-
nal Information Service) or Weather Broadcast stations
inhibit scanner operation. Since these stations are always
active, the scanner will be halted repeatedly on their chan-
nels. Such channels can be set to be "Skipped" during
Memory scanning (MR, Book or WX modes), if you like,
so as not to interfere with automatic channel scanning:
r Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scan-
ning.
r Press and hold the
key for 2 seconds. The "t"
icon will appear at the left of the frequency display,
indicating that the channel is to be ignored during scan-
ning.
r Later, to re-enable the memory channel for scanning,
repeat the first two steps. The "t" icon will disap-
pear by the channel you have just re-enabled.
Note: A memory set to be "Skipped" is still accessible for
manual memory selection using the DIAL selector knob.
