7 SCAN MEMORY SCAN Memory Scan monitors all memory channels in which you have stored frequencies (All-Channel Scan) or only a desired group of memory channels (Group Scan). ALL-CHANNEL SCAN The transceiver scans all of the memory channels in which you have stored frequencies. 1 Press [MR] (1 s). • Scan starts from the last memory channel number and ascends up through the channel numbers (default). Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to change the scanning direction. • To jump to a desired channel while scanning, quickly turn the Tuning control. 2 To stop the All-Channel Scan, press [MR] or [PTT]. Note: x You must have 2 or more memory channels that contain the data, excluding the special function memory channels. x If "CURRENT BAND" is selected for Menu No. 3 (MR METHOD), it scans only Memory channels that have the same frequency band data. x The transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detects a signal. GROUP SCAN In order to easily manage all 400 memory channels, they are divided into 8 groups {page 18}. For the purpose of Group Scan, you can select a particular memory group to be scanned, depending on the situation. Using the Memory Group Link function {below}, you can scan all the linked memory groups. 1 Press [MR]. 2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select a memory channel in the group you want to scan. For example, if you want to scan the group 0 memory channels, recall memory channel 12 (group 0 contains memory channels 0 ~ 49). s Memory Group Link Although the 400 memory channels are divided into 8 groups {page 18}, you may sometimes want to scan two or more groups. In this case, use the Memory Group Link function. 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select Menu No. 2 (M.GRP LINK). 3 Press [ ] or [MNU]. • The memory group numbers appear. 4 Move the cursor using [ ]/ [ ], then turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select or deselect the group to be linked. • Linked groups appear at the bottom of the display (in the example below, groups 0, 1, 3 and 5 are linked). 5 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the setting. Otherwise, press [ ] or [PTT] to cancel. • You can press [MONI] to cancel the all links at once. • You can also press [0] ~ [7] to select or deselect the group to be linked. 3 Press [MHz] (1 s). • The memory channels within the selected group are scanned. • If the group is linked to other groups {below}, all the linked groups are also scanned. 4 To stop the Group Scan, press [MHz] or [PTT]. Note: x You must have 2 or more memory channels that contain the data, excluding the special function memory channels. x The Group Scan scans all available memory channels, regardless of Menu No. 3 (MR METHOD) selection {page 16}. x The transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detects a signal. 24
