Note: When scanning upward in frequency, when the fre-
quency reaches the COM Band (118.000 ~ 136.975 MHz)
via manual scanning, the VXA-300 will switch to the au-
tomatic scanner mode.
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:
Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scan-
ning.
Press the [ F] key mo-
mentarily, then press the
[ 9 ( SKIP )] .
The " " icon will
appear at the upper right
of the channel number,
indicating that the chan-
nel is to be ignored during
scanning.
You can also designate a chan-
nel to be skipped while scan-
