5-1 Scanning

This function automatically detects receiving frequencies to

help you locate the signal that you want to receive.

There are two types of scanning; Busy scan and Timer scan.

The default is set as Busy ("bUSY") scan.

Switching between those two types can be done in the Setting

mode. (See on P.XX)

Busy scan:

If no signal is monitored after scanning stops, it will detect the

next frequency.

Timer scan:

Even if a signal is detected after scanning stops, it will switch to

the next frequency after a lapse of 5 seconds.

• While it is under scanning, the decimal point (.) on the LCD blinks.

• Even it is under scanning, a scan will be suspended and a

squelch will open temporarily when you hold the MONI key down.

Scanning will be continued when you release the MONI key.

• While it is under scanning, a scanning direction can be

changed with a dial operation. Scanning starts in the direction

of the last dial operation. (up or down)

• Press any key other than the MONI key to stop scanning.

■VFO Scan

In VFO mode, scanning is performed to detect signals with the

tuning step unit you set in advance (see on P.XX) for any

frequencies in a specified band.

1. Press the key to switch to the VFO mode.

2. While holding the key down, rotate the dial to

display "vFo" on the LCD.

3. Release the key.

Scanning will be performed with the tuning step unit in the

direction of the last dial operation. (up or down)

4. Rotate the dial in the clockwise direction to make the

scanning take place in the UP direction.

Conversely, rotate the dial in the counter-clockwise

direction to make the scanning take place in the

DOWN direction.

5. Press any key other than the MONI key to stop

scanning.

■Program Scan

Scanning is performed to detect signals between a specified

range of frequencies. Both higher limit and lower limit of the

range need to be set in advance. Otherwise, the following

operations can't be done.

A programmed pair of frequency range (higher and lower limit)

is called as a "program scan channel". You can program up to

5 pairs of frequency ranges.

For more information on how to program, please refer to

"Programming a Memory Channel" on P.XX.

1. Press the key to switch to the VFO mode.

2. While holding the key down, rotate the dial to

select a program scan channel to be detected.

3. Release the key.

When you have selected A side, scanning will be performed in

the direction of side "b".

Conversely, when you have selected b side, scanning will be

performed in the direction of side "A".
