SCAN Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating efficiency. This transceiver provides the following type of scans: Band Scan Program Scan Memory Scan CALL Scan Priority Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band. Scans the specified frequency ranges stored in Memory channels L0/U0 ~ L2/U2. Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels. Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory channel. Checks the activities on the Priority channel (Pr) every 3 seconds. Note: ◆ When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver stops at a busy frequency and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiver unmutes. Otherwise, it resumes scanning. ◆ Press and hold [MONI] to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency. Release [MONI] to resume scanning. ◆ Pressing [MENU] causes scan to stop. ◆ If you press any key other than the following keys during scan, the transceiver exits scan (excluding Priority Scan): [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL], [F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP]. BAND SCAN The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For example, if you are operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the frequencies available for the 2 m band. When the current VFO receiving frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 27}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO. 1 Press [VFO]. 2 Rotate the ENC control to select the frequency outside of the Program Scan frequency range. 3 Press [VFO] (1s). • Scan starts at the current frequency. • The 1 MHz point blinks while scanning is in progress. • To change the scan direction, rotate the ENC control clockwise or counterclockwise . 4 To exit Band Scan, press any key other than [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL], [F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP]. 26
