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 VFO Scan Memory Scan Group Scan Program Scan MHz Scan Call Scan Scan Range Scans all frequencies on the current band. Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels. Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which belong to the group you have specified. Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on the current band. Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the originating frequency. Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory channel. 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, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected. ◆ When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting. ◆ Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band. ◆ Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF. 42

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
VFO Scan
Scans all frequencies on the current band.
Memory Scan
Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.
Group Scan
Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which
belong to the group you have specified.
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.
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, you will hear audio
only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected.
◆
When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or
exceeds the S-meter setting.
Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the
S-meter setting.
◆
Pressing and holding
[PTT]
causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX
band.
◆
Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF.
