Scanning
1. After programming frequencies,
simply press SCAN to begin scanning.
During scanning, when you rotate the
VFO, you can select the direction
(
↑ or ↓) you want to scan.
2. The bank indicators selected for scanning appear on the
display, and the bank being currently monitored flashes.
You can deselect banks from active scanning by entering
their number on your keypad. The indicator for each
deselected bank disappears, and the bank’s channels are
not scanned.
Note: One bank must always be active. You cannot
deactivate all ten banks at the same time. If you try to
deselect all the banks, the first bank is automatically
selected.
To restore a bank to active scanning, enter the bank’s
number on your keypad.
The bank’s indicator will display again.
3. During normal scanning the
scanner skips
unprogrammed or locked
out channels.
4. When a transmission is
received, the scanner stops
on that channel. When the
transmission ends, scanning
resumes automatically.
Another method is as follows:
1. Press HOLD/MAN.
2. While the VFO setting is in the channel mode, rotate the
VFO until the desired channel is displayed.
Note: When in Hold mode, you can use the VFO to step up
or down through the channels. You can also switch
from stepping up/down through channels to stepping
up/down through frequencies by pressing the
HOLD/MAN button for 2 seconds.
