Memory Scan
The Memory Scan function is very similar to the Search function, except
it only scans those frequencies stored in the memory channels. To Scan
the memory channels, press the Recall Key to enter the Recall function.
Then press and hold the Up or Down Key for one second to initiate either
an upward or downward Scan. The word SCAN will appear on the screen
and the memory channel number and frequency will be displayed on the
top line of the screen.
When a broadcasting signal is found, the word SCAN 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 Scan will resume until
another signal is found.
The Scan may be canceled at any time by pressing the Clear Key. The
direction of the Scan may also be reversed at any time by pressing and
holding the Up or Down Key (whichever is appropriate) for one second.
Once you have pressed the Clear Key to exit a Scan, you are still in the
Recall function. Press the Clear Key again to exit the Recall function. The
PJ2 COM will remain on the last frequency received.
It is very important that the Squelch be properly adjusted prior to
initiating a Scan. The background static received with the squelch off may
be strong enough to disrupt a Scan. If a Scan 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
Scanning. Please note, since ATIS broadcasts continually, a Scan will
always stop on an ATIS frequency if it is included in the Scan.
