The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where

search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (with-

Search memory bank, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15 be-

activity is present will be loaded into the Smart Search memories;
whether or not all 31 memories are filled, the search will stop after
one sweep in each direction.

first sweep, however, the radio will continue sweeping until they are
all filled.
