SCAN Scan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortable with all types of Scan, you will increase your operating efficiency. This transceiver provides the following types of scans. Scan Type Purpose Band Scan Scans the entire band of the frequency you selected Normal Scan Program Scan Scans the specified frequency ranges stored in Memory channels L0/U0 ~ L9/U9 MHz Scan Scans the frequencies within a 1 MHz range Scans all Memory channels All-Channel from 0 to 399, based on your Scan Menu No. 3 (MR METHOD) Memory settings Scan Scans the specified Memory Group Scan channel groups, based on your Menu No. 2 (M.GPR LINK) settings Call Scan VFO Memory Channel Scans the Call channel and the current VFO frequency Scans the Call channel and the selected Memory channel Priority Scan Checks the activities on the specified priority channels (Pr1/ Pr2) every 3 seconds Information Channel Scans the Information Scan channels Visual Scan* VFO Scans ± 5 frequencies in the programmed step size near the current operating frequency. The signal strength of each frequency is displayed in a bar-graph Memory Channel Scans the Memory channels and displays the signal strength of each channel in a bar-graph * Visual Scan graphically shows the busy status of frequencies in a specific range. Note: x 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. x Press and hold [MONI] to pause the Scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency. Release [MONI] to resume scanning. x Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan, excluding the Priority scan and Visual scan, to stop. x Pressing [MNU] causes Scan to stop except the Visual Scan. x Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check (ASC) {page 14}. x If you press any key other than the following keys during the scan, the transceiver exits the Scan (excluding the Priority scan and Visual scan). The Priority scan stops while "Pr1" or "Pr2" is blinking: [F], [F] (1 s), [LAMP], [MONI], [SQL], [BAL], [A/B], Tuning control F] then [SQL], and [F] then [LOW]. NORMAL SCAN When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode, 3 types of scanning are available: Band Scan, Program Scan, and MHz Scan. 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 on the A-band, it scans all the frequencies available for the 2 m band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range in the specifications {page 54}.) When the current VFO receive frequency is outside of the Program Scan frequency range {page 23}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO. 1 Press [VFO]. 2 Press [BAND] to select your desired band. 3 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select the frequency outside of the Program Scan frequency range {page 23}. 4 Press [VFO] (1 s) to start the Band Scan. 5 To stop the Band Scan, press [VFO] or [PTT]. Note: x While scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by turning the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ]. x The transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in Menu No. 4 (PROG VFO) {page 39} on the A-band. x If you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L9/U9 range in step 3, the Program Scan {page 23} starts. x If you press [MONI], Band Scan temporarily pauses. Release [MONI] to resume scanning. x The transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detects a signal. x If the Fine Tuning function is ON, scanning does not stop at the busy channels. 22

Visual Scan graphically shows the busy status of frequencies in a
specific range.
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 the Scan in order to monitor the
scanning frequency.
Release
[MONI]
to resume scanning.
◆
Pressing and holding
[PTT]
causes Scan, excluding the Priority
scan and Visual scan, to stop.
◆
Pressing
[MNU]
causes Scan to stop except the Visual Scan.
◆
Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check (ASC)
{page 14}.
◆
If you press any key other than the following keys during the
scan, the transceiver exits the Scan (excluding the Priority scan
and Visual scan).
The Priority scan stops while “Pr1” or “Pr2” is
blinking:

NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,
3 types of scanning are available:
Band Scan,
Program Scan, and MHz Scan.
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 on the
A-band, it scans all the frequencies available for the
2 m band.
(Refer to receiver VFO frequency range
in the specifications {page 54}.)
When the current
VFO receive frequency is outside of the Program
Scan frequency range {page 23}, the transceiver
scans the entire frequency range available for the
current VFO.
1
Press
[VFO]
.
2
Press
[BAND]
to select your desired band.
3
Turn the
Tuning
control or press
[
]
/
[
]
to select
the frequency outside of the Program Scan
frequency range {page 23}.
4
Press
[VFO] (1 s)
to start the Band Scan.
5
To stop the Band Scan, press
[VFO]
or
[PTT]
.
Note:
◆
While scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by
turning the
Tuning
control or press
[
]
/
[
]
.
◆
The transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in Menu
No. 4 (PROG VFO) {page 39} on the A-band.
◆
If you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L9/U9 range in
step 3, the Program Scan {page 23} starts.
◆
If you press
[MONI]
, Band Scan temporarily pauses.
Release
[MONI]
to resume scanning.
◆
The transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detects a
signal.
◆
If the Fine Tuning function is ON, scanning does not stop at the
busy channels.
