CALL SCAN
A Call channel can be stored for each amateur radio
band, such as the 2 m, 70 cm, and 1.25 m (TH-F6A
only) bands {page 19}. You can monitor one of these
Call channels and the current operating frequency
alternatively.
1 Select the frequency (in VFO, Memory Recall, or
Information Channel mode) you want to monitor.
• In VFO mode, press [A/B] to select the A or
B-band. Then, turn the Tuning control or press
[ ]/ [ ] to select the desired frequency.
• In Memory Recall mode, turn the Tuning
control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select a memory
channel you want to monitor.
• Press [INFO] to recall the last Information
Channel you monitored.
2 Press [CALL] (1 s) to start the Call Scan.

VFO frequency, memory channel or Information
Channel are monitored alternately.
4 To stop the Call Scan, press [PTT] or [CALL].
Note:
◆ The transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detects a
signal.
◆ You can perform the Call Scan even if the recalled memory
channel or Information channel has been locked out {page 27}.
◆ If the Call channel is not available for the current operating
frequency, an error beep sounds.
PRIORITY SCAN
You may sometimes want to check your favorite
frequency activities while monitoring the A and
B-bands. In this case, use the Priority Scan function.
It checks the activities of Pr1 and Pr2 channels every
3 seconds, alternately, using the B-band receiver.
If the transceiver detects a signal on Pr1 or Pr2, it
recalls the frequency to the B-band receiver.
Note: If you do not operate any control or key for 3 seconds after the
signal drops, the transceiver returns to the original frequency and
resumes Priority Scan.

priority channel.
