SCAN-4
VISUAL SCAN
While you are receiving, Visual Scan allows you to monitor
frequencies near the current operating frequency. Visual Scan
graphically and simultaneously shows how all frequencies in the
selected range are busy. You will see up to 21 segments, for each
channel, that represent 7 S-meter levels (3 segments per level).
Determine the scan range by selecting the center frequency and
the number of channels. The default number of channels is 61.

■ Selecting the Number of Channels
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 916.
2 Set the number of channels to MODE 1 (31ch), MODE 2
(61ch), MODE 3 (91ch), or MODE 4 (181ch).
■ Using Visual Scan
1 Select your desired band.
2 Rotate the Tuning control select the operating frequency.
• This frequency will be used as the center frequency.
3 Press [F], [VISUAL] to start Visual Scan.
• To halt Scan, press [PAUSE]. “PAUSE” appears and blinks.
Press [PAUSE] again to resume.
4 To change the operating frequency, rotate the Tuning
control.
• The displayed frequency changes and the cursor moves.
• Press [SET] to use the changed operating frequency as the
center frequency.
• Press [RESET] to restore the previous operating frequency.
5 To exit Visual Scan, press [ESC].
Note:
◆ You cannot use the Visual Scan Function under the following
circumstances:
• When the APRS/NAVITRA or Packet mode is turned
ON.
• When only 1 channel has been stored in the memory
channels.
• When using Weather Alert (K models only).
◆ If you start Visual Scan in Memory Recall mode, the memory channel
frequencies will be scanned.
◆ If you start Visual Scan after recalling the Call channel, the Call
channel frequency will be used as the center frequency.
◆ If the frequency range specifi ed for Program Scan or Program VFO
is narrower than the range specifi ed for Visual Scan, the range for
Program Scan or VFO will be used for Visual Scan.
◆ Visual Scan stops while transmitting.
◆ If you start Visual Scan in one of the following conditions, you cannot
receive in the current operating frequency. To use this frequency, press
[PAUSE] to halt Scan.
• Memory Recall or Call Channel mode.
• A frequency in the 118, 220, 300, or 1200 MHz band was selected
in VFO mode.
◆ Depending on the transceiver conditions, Visual Scan and the
conventional S-meter may indicate different signal strength levels.
