This setting is effective when " " is selected for the scan resume condition. • When scan speed is assigned, this control adjusts the scan speed. In this case, scan delay time is determined while setting. @7 SCAN SWITCHES [SCAN SCAN SET ] All of these switches are related to the scan function in some way as follows: @3 MEMORY WRITE SWITCH [MW] (p. 19) Push and hold to store the displayed frequency, mode, tuning step, etc. into the selected memory channel. @4 BANK SWITCH [BANK] (p.17) ¯ Push momentarily to toggle the bank limit function ON and OFF (p 18). • While "BANK" appears, only memory channels within the selected bank can be selected via the [M-CH] selector. ¯ Push for 1 sec. to increase/decrease the number of memory channels in the selected bank (p. 21). @5 MEMORY CHANNEL SELECTOR [M-CH] (p.18) ¯ Selects a memory channel in normal use. • Clockwise rotation selects higher memory channel numbers; counterclockwise rotation selects lower memory channel numbers. ¯ Selects a set mode item when quick set mode or initial set mode is selected (p. 30). @6 DELAY/SPEED CONTROL [DELAY/SPEED] (p.28) Adjusts the scan delay time or scan speed depend- [MEMO] (p. 23) ¯ Push momentarily to start/stop memory scan. ¯ Push numeral keys, then this key to start memo- ry scan in the specified bank. ¯ Push this key, then a mode switch to activate mode select scan function. ¯ Push for 1 sec. to set automatic bank and skip functions. • The bank limit function and/or memory skip functions are activated automatically when "AUTO" is selected and scan is started. [SEL] (p. 23) ¯ Push momentarily to start/stop memory select scan. ¯ Push for 1 sec. to set the memory channel as a select channel. [PROG] (p. 24) ¯ Push momentarily to start/stop programmed scan. ¯ Push numeral keys, before or after pushing this key to start programmed scan using the specified scan edge group. • 10 scan edge groups are available. ¯ Push for 1 sec. to program scan edges for pro- 3
