Previous view 4 SCAN OPERATION Scan Scanning is a versatile function that can automatically search for signals. A scan makes it easier to locate stations to contact or listen to, or to skip unwanted channels or frequencies. DDAbout the scan function • In the VFO mode The frequencies that are set as "PSKIP" are skipped during a scan. (p. 4-7) NOTE: At least one program scan edge range must be programmed to start a program scan. (p. 4-12) • In the memory mode Repeatedly scans all programmed Memory channels. The frequencies that are set as skip channels "PSKIP" and "SKIP" are not scanned. (p. 4-7) NOTE: Two or more memory channels must be programmed to start a memory scan. DDVFO scan • ALL (Full scan) p. 4-5 Repeatedly scans the entire band. 118 MHz 550 MHz P SKIP Scan P SKIP Jump • BAND (Selected band scan) p. 4-5 Scans all frequencies over the entire selected band. Band edge Band edge P SKIP Scan P SKIP Jump • PROG 0-24 (Program scan) p. 4-5 Scans the program scan edge ranges. (Scan > Program Scan Edge) Band Lower edge freq. Scan edges Higher Band freq. edge Jump Scan [Duplex (DUP) scan] The Duplex scan searches for both TX and RX frequencies which are used in duplex operation. (p. 11-4) • The "DUP-" or "DUP+" icon is displayed in the duplex mode. • A duplex scan will not start when the frequency off- set is set to "0.000 MHz." Jump • P-LINK0-9 (Program link scan) p. 4-5 Sequentially scans the program scan edge ranges which are set to link in the "PROGRAM LINK" item in the Menu screen. (p. 12-15) (Scan > Program Link) DDMemory scan • ALL (Memory full scan) p. 4-8 Scans all memory channels. [Tone scan] The tone scan searches for tone frequencies or DTCS codes that are used by stations using the Tone Squelch function. • A tone scan can be made in any mode: VFO, mem- ory or Call channel. • During a tone scan, rotate [DIAL] to switch scan di- rection. Refer to "Tone Squelch function" or "DTCS code Squelch function" for details. (p. 13-8, p. 13-9) • BAND (Selected band memory scan) p. 4-8 Scans all Memory channels on the same frequency band as the selected channel. • MODE (Mode memory scan) p. 4-8 Scans memory channels which are programmed with the same receiving mode as the currently selected mode. DDMemory bank scan • ALL (Full bank scan) p. 4-9 Scans all banks. • BANK-LINK (Bank link scan) p. 4-9 Sequentially scans the banks which are set to link in the "BANK LINK" item in the Menu screen. (Scan > Bank Link) • BANK-A-Z (Bank scan) p. 4-9 Scans the memory channels in the selected bank. 4-2
