11 SCAN
SCAN HOLD
This function stops Program Scan for approximately
5 seconds, then resumes Scan when you jump to the
desired frequency by turning the Tuning control or the
MULTI/CH control, or by pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN].
To use this function, access Menu No. 21, and select
“on”. The default is OFF.
MEMORY SCAN
Memory Scan monitors all memory channels in which
you have stored frequencies (All-channel Scan) or only
a desired group of memory channels (Group Scan).
Scan automatically stops at a channel where a signal
is present, regardless of the operating mode. The
transceiver will either remain on that channel for a
short time (Time-Operated mode) or until the signal
drops out (Carrier-Operated mode). Use Menu No.
22 to select the mode. The default is “to” (Time-
Operated).
SCAN RESUME
The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency
(or memory channel) where a signal is detected. It
then continues scanning according to which resume
mode you have selected. You can choose one of the
following modes. The default is Time-Operated mode.
• Time-Operated mode (“to”)
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (or
memory channel) for approximately 6 seconds,
then continues to scan, even if the signal is still
present.
• Carrier-Operated mode (“co”)
The transceiver remains on the busy frequency (or
memory channel) until the signal drops out. There
is a 2 second delay between signal dropout and
scan resumption.
1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or
turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 22.
2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “to”
(Time-Operated) or “co” (Carrier-Operated).
3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
You can lock out the memory channels that you
prefer not to monitor while scanning (refer to “Memory
Channel Lockout”).
ALL-CHANNEL SCAN
Use the following procedure to scan all the memory
channels that contain frequency data in sequence,
ignoring the Memory Group number.
1 Select Time-Operated or Carrier-Operated mode
via Menu No. 22.
2 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode.
3 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch
threshold to mute the speaker.
4 Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to enter Scan
Group Select mode.
• Turn
the MULTI/CH control to select the
Memory channel group.
• MGROUP–0 represents Memory channels
0 ~ 9, MGROUP–1 represents Memory
channels 10 ~ 19 and so on up to MGROUP–9
which represents Memory channels 90 ~ 99
and MGROUP–P which represents Memory
channels P0 ~ P9.
5 As you select the Memory Groups using the
MULTI/CH control, press [M.IN] to select “on” for
all Memory Groups.
6 Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to return to
Memory Recall mode.
7 Press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to start All-channel Scan.
• Scan starts from the current memory channel
and ascends up through the channel numbers.
(The scan direction cannot be changed.)
• To jump to a desired channel while scanning,
turn the MULTI/CH control, or press Mic [UP]/
[DWN].
8 To stop Scan, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR].
Note:
◆ If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond the
squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel where
a signal is present. If this happens, turn the SQL control
slightly counterclockwise.
◆ Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT
functions.
