9 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 types of scans. Scan Type Scan Range Band Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band. Memory Scan Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels. Group Link Scan Scans memory channel in the plural memory groups registered in the group link list.. Program Scan Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on the current band. MHz Scan Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the originating frequency. Call Scan Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory channel. Priority Scan Priority Scan checks the Priority Channel every 3 seconds. Note: ¡ Adjust the squelch level before using scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause scan to stop immediately. ¡ While using CTCSS or DCS, scan stops for any signal received; however, scan will immediately resume if the received signal does not contain the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected. ¡ Pressing and holding [PTT] causes scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band. SELECTING A SCAN RESUME METHOD The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to which resume mode you have selected. You can choose one of the following modes. Time-Operated mode Scan will stop temporarily once the squelch opens. Scan will resume 5 seconds later (default setting) regardless of the squelch status. Carrier-Operated mode Scan will stop temporarily once the squelch opens. Scan will resume if the squelch remains closed for more than 2 seconds (default setting). Seek mode Scan will complete once the squelch opens, and it will not resume. 1 Access Menu No. 130. • In digital (DV/DR mode), access Menu No. 131. Time-Operate Resume Time Set the hold time for the Time-Operate scan method. When a signal is received, scan will pause at that frequency for the duration of the hold time you set. When the set time elapses, scan will resume (even if the signal is still being received). 1 Access Menu No. 132. 2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec. Carrier-Operated Resume Time Set the hold time for the Carrier-Operate scan method. When a signal is received, scan will pause at that frequency. When the signal stops, scan will resume after the duration of the hold time you set. 1 Access Menu No. 133. 2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec. BAND SCAN Band scan monitors all frequency range that is stored in Menu No. 100 (Programmable VFO), using the current frequency step size. 1 Select your desired operation band and frequency. 2 Press and hold [VFO]. Band scan appears and scan starts at the current frequency. • The 1 MHz decimal point blinks while scanning is in progress. Note: ¡ When starting a scan within the frequency range of the registered program scan memory, it is the program scan. ¡ During DR mode, press and hold [VFO], the DR scan menu screen will appear on the display. (refer to page No.16-14 ) 3 To quit band scan, press [VFO]. 2 Set the Scan Resume mode to [Time] (Time-Operated), [Carrier] (Carrier-Operated) or [Seek] (Seek). 9-1
