Kenwood TS-850S - Manual (Page 47)

Both Memory Scan and Program Scan are possible.
4-12-1. Memory Scan
During memory channel operation, pressing the
SCAN key will cause the radio to scan the memory
channels repeatedly, skipping the channels that have
no data stored or are locked-out.
To cancel scan press the CLR key.
4-12-2. Group Scan
To initiate memory scan of specific memory channel
groups.
1. During memory channel operation, press and hold
the SCAN key.
2. You may specify which memory groups you want
to scan by depressing the key that corresponds to
the tens digit position of the memory channel
group.
0 ................ Memory channels 00 thru 09
1 ................ Memory channels 10 thru 19
2
.............. Memory channels 20 thru 29
• •
• •
9 ............... Memory channels 90 thru 99
In example 1 we want to scan only Group 2, so we
would press the 2 key. In example 2 we want to
scan Group 1 and Group 3, so we would press the 1
key and then the 3 key.
4-12. SCAN
Example 1
Group 2
CH20 CH29
Example 2
Group 1
CHI 0 CHI 9
Group 3
CH30 CH39
4-12-3. Memory Channel Lockout
This transceiver has a Memory Channel lockout
function which allows you to temporarily skip
unwanted Memory Channels during memory scan.
Locking out unwanted channels will help to increase
the effective scan speed.
1. Use memory channel for the RX VFO or both
during memory channel operations. The display
shows the memory channel operated last.
2. Select the Memory Channel that you want to skip
using the M.CH/VFO CH control.
3. Press the CLR key.________________________
Note
Holding the CLR key depressed for longer than
2 seconds will clear that channel of all data.
A decimal point will appear in the M.CH display to
indicate that the channel will be skipped.
To cancel the lockout, select the desired channel
and then press the CLR key. The decimal point
will go out indicating that the channel will again be
scanned.
Note
If memory scan is initiated while all Memory
Channels are locked out a Morse code
“CHECK” will sound from the speaker.
4-12-4. Programmable Band Scan
Pressing the SCAN key during VFO A or VFO B
operation starts the scan.
Channel Selection
1. While holding the SCAN key depressed press the
numeric key that corresponds with the program
scan range you want to scan.
For example press the 3 key if you want to scan
between the limits specified in memory channel
93. Press 4 if you want to scan between the limits
specified in memory channel 94, and so on.
2. Scan will proceed from the frequency that
appears in the highest frequency towards the
frequency specified in the lowest frequency.
3. The mode of operation and filter bandwidth can
be changed during scan.
4. To cancel scan press the CLR key.
Note
If no data has been stored in memory channel 90
scan will proceed from 30.0 kHz thru 30.0 MHz
and these limits will be automatically stored in
memory channel 90. (Initial state)
You can specify up to 10 different groups to scan.
Simply hold the scan key depressed and press the
numeric key corresponding to the different groups
you wish to scan.
For example:
When 14.000 MHz (lower limit) and 14.010 MHz
(upper limit) are stored in channel 91, and 21.000
MHz (lower limit) and 21.010 MHz (upper limit) are
stored in channel 92:
[ I ] Press Numeric key 1 while holding down the
SCAN key. Scanning will proceed thru the
range stored in memory channel 91.
