This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.
For example, you might with to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to 148.000
MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the band
below 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store 144.300 MHz into Memory Channel #L1 (the
“L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the “U” designates the Upper
sub-band limit).
4. Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M] key once, then rotate the DIAL knob
to select Memory Channel # L1.
5. Press and hold in the [SCN] key for 1/2 second to start PMS operation; the “MT” label
will be appears on the display. Tuning and scanning (engaged by pressing the [SCN] key
momentarily) will now be limited within the just-programmed range.
6. Ten pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L10/U10 are available. You
therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.
