Frequency Search
To manually search through the frequency range, the Up Key or Down
Key may be pressed at any time to select the next higher or lower
frequency. The Up and Down Keys may be pressed repeatedly to continue
changing the selected frequency.
To automatically search the entire frequency range for a broadcasting
signal, the Up Key or Down Key may be pressed and held for one second.
The Screen will display SEARCH as seen below.
The frequencies will either scroll up or down depending upon whether
the Up or Down Key was used to initiate the Search.
When a broadcasting signal is found, the word SEARCH will flash and
the PJ2 COM will stop temporarily on that frequency. If the broadcasting
signal is cut off for more than two seconds, the Search will resume until
another signal is found. When 136.975 MHz is reached during a upward
Search, the Search automatically continues at 118.000 MHz. Likewise,
when 118.000 MHz is reached during a downward Search, the Search
automatically continues at 136.975 MHz.
The Search may be canceled at any time by pressing the Clear Key. The
direction of the Search may also be reversed at any time by pressing
and holding the Up and Down Key (whichever is appropriate) for one
second. It is very important that the Squelch be properly adjusted prior
to initiating a Search. The background static received with the squelch off
may be strong enough to disrupt a Search. If a Search gets “stuck” on a
frequency with too much background noise, increase the Squelch or press
and hold the Up or Down Key for one second to skip that frequency and
resume Searching.
