Scan Type Scan Range
VFO Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band.

Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which
belong to the group you have specified.

Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on
the current band.

Note:
u
Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause
Scan to stop immediately.
u While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will hear audio
only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected.
u When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or
exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the
S-meter setting.
u Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX
band.
u Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF.
