•Program Scan
This is a type of VFO scan, which is done by setting the fre-
quency range of the VFO into the PH and PL channels, it only
scans between those frequencies. When the PH and PL are
set properly, up to 3 Program scan ranges will be available,
which are L-PH, PL-PH and PH-H.
1.
Enter the VFO mode and set the PL and PH
frequencies into the designated memory chan-
nels. Refer to Memory setting for the proper
sequence.
2.
Return to the VFO mode by pressing V/M key.
Set the VFO to the frequency within the range
to be program-scanned.
3.
Press the MHz key for more than 1 second to
start scanning. During this scan mode, the deci-
mal point flashes as shown.
4.
Use the main dial or Mic UP/DOWN keys to
change the scan direction. Press any key (other
than the UP/DOWN keys) to exit.
•Tone Scan
This function automatically searches for the CTCSS tone an
incoming signal might carry. This feature is useful to search
for the encoding tone of a repeater, or to communicate with a
station operating in TSQ (CTCSS squelch) mode.
1.
Press TS/DCS key to enter the CTCSS decode
setting mode. Press until TSQ is displayed.
2.
Press the Mic UP/DOWN key for more than 1
second but less than 2 seconds to start scan-
ning. It scans 38 tones in order.
3.
When searching, the decimal point on the tone
frequency will flash. Tone scanning stops when
the matching tone is detected.
4.
The tone scan won’t resume unless the opera-
tion in step 2 is repeated.
5.
Press any key (other than UP/DOWN keys) to
exit.
