VFO scan

1
Select the band to be scanned, and then switch to
VFO mode.
2
Press and hold [UP] or [DWN] on the microphone for
over one second.
Pressing [UP] scans in the higher frequency
direction.
Pressing [DWN] scans in the lower frequency
direction.
During scanning, the decimal point of the frequency
display blinks.
Once the transceiver receives a signal, the
transceiver continuously receives it until the signal
disappears, and restarts scanning 2 seconds after
the signal disappears.
Tips • The scanning direction (UP/DOWN) can be set from [5 SCAN] → [2 SCAN DIRECTION]
in the Setup menu. This scanning direction setting is applied for scanning performed by
pressing one of the [P1] to [P4] keys on the microphone to which [SCAN] is assigned in
advance from [8 CONFIG] → [10 MIC PROGRAM KEY] in Setup menu.
• The scanning direction can be changed by pressing and holding [UP] or [DWN] on the
microphone for over one second, or by rotating the DIAL while scanning.
• The operation performed after the scan stops on a signal, can be set from [5 SCAN] → [3
SCAN RESUME] in the Setup menu (refer to the next page).
• The squelch level can be adjusted even during scanning, by pressing
rotating DIAL.
