SCAN OPERATION 6 ■ Auto memory write scan This scan is useful for searching a specified frequency range, and automatically storing busy frequencies into memory channels. The same frequency ranges used for a program scan are also used for an auto memory write scan. q Start a VFO scan. ➥ Push [V/M] to select the VFO mode. ➥ Set the squelch level. ➥ Hold down [SCAN](MODE) for 1 second to enter the scan type selection mode. ➥ Rotate [DIAL] to select a desired scanning type. • Select "ALL" for full scan, "BAND" for band scan, "P-LINK x" for programmed link scan (x= 0 to 9), "PROGxx" for programmed scan (xx= 0 to 24; only programmed scan edge numbers are displayed). ➥ Push [SCAN](MODE) to start the scan. w P ush [V/M] to turn the auto memory write function ON or OFF. • The " " icon blinks. • Push [SCAN](MODE) to stop the scan. [DIAL] During auto memory write scan The " " icon blinks during auto memory write scan. D During auto memory write scanning: • When a signal is received, the scan pauses for approximately 5 seconds and the frequency is stored into an auto memory write channel group (AW000-AW199). - 2 short beeps sound when stored. • The scan resumes after frequency storing. • When all channels are stored, the scan automatically 6 stops and 1 long beep sounds. D Re-calling the stored frequencies: q P ush [V/M] to select the memory mode. w P ush [BAND] repeatedly, or while holding down [BAND], rotate [DIAL], to select the auto memory write channel group. • "AW" appears. e Rotate [DIAL] to select a desired channel. "AW" appears when the auto memory write channel group is selected. D Clearing the stored frequencies: q Select the auto memory write channel group. w W hile holding down [FUNC], push and hold [S.MW](V/M) for 1 second to clear all the channels' contents. • 1 short and 1 long beep sounds. NOTE: The auto memory write channel contents CANNOT be cleared by an independent channel. Thus it is a good idea to copy the contents into a regular memory channel. 34
