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 VFO Scan Scans the entire band of the frequency you selected Normal Scan Program Scan Scans the specific frequency ranges stored in Memory channels 290 ~ 299 MHz Scan Scans the frequencies within a 1 MHz range All-Channel Scans all Memory channels, Memory Scan from 00 to 299 Scan Group Scan Scans the specific Memory channel groups Call Scan VFO Memory Channel Scans the Call channel and the current VFO frequency Scans the Call channel and the selected Memory channel Visual Scan* VFO Scans the current operating frequency as well as a specified number of frequencies above and below that frequency. The signal strength of each channel 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 how frequencies in a specific range are busy. Note: ◆ While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops only for the signals that contain 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 Mic [PTT] causes Scan to stop if it is functioning on a non TX band. Pressing Mic [PTT] on the scanning band causes Scan to stop. ◆ Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Checker. NORMAL SCAN When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode, 2 types of scanning are available. • VFO Scan The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. For example, if you are operating and receiving on the main transceiver's VFO A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans all the frequencies in the range of 30.00 kHz to 60.00000 MHz. (Refer to VFO frequency range in the Specifications.) • Program Scan By programming the start and end frequency in Memory channels 290 ~ 299 {page 62}, you can limit the scanning frequency range. Since there are 10 memory channels (290 ~ 299) available for specifying the start and end frequency, you can select one or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to scan. This is useful when you are waiting for a DX station on a certain frequency but the station may appear on slightly higher or lower frequency. VFO SCAN VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is available for the current VFO. When the Program Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan Group is selected for the Program Scan, the transceiver also scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO. If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are programmed in memory channels 290 to 299: 1 Press [FUNC], [SCAN/ SG.SEL]. 2 If one or more memory channels are selected for the Program Scan, the selected channels are displayed in a larger font on the main dot-matrix display. In this case, press [•/ DCS/SEL] to temporarily deselect all the channels. When there are no Scan Group channels selected, "VFO SCN MODE" appears on the sub dot-matrix display. 3 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to return to the current VFO mode. 4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the VFO Scan. Note: ◆ While scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the RIT/ SUB control. Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise to decrease/ increase the scan speed. The speed indicator appears on the main dot-matrix display, where P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the slowest. ◆ You cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode. ◆ You cannot change the VFO Scan speed on the sub-receiver. 66

Visual Scan graphically shows how frequencies in a specific range
are busy.
Note:
◆
While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops only for the signals that
contain 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 Mic
[PTT]
causes Scan to stop if it is
functioning on a non TX band.
Pressing Mic
[PTT]
on the
scanning band causes Scan to stop.
◆
Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Checker.
NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,
2 types of scanning are available.
•
VFO Scan
The transceiver scans the entire band of the
frequency you selected.
For example, if you are
operating and receiving on the main transceiver’s
VFO A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans all the
frequencies in the range of 30.00 kHz to
60.00000 MHz.
(Refer to VFO frequency range
in the Specifications.)
•
Program Scan
By programming the start and end frequency in
Memory channels 290 ~ 299 {page 62}, you can
limit the scanning frequency range.
Since there
are 10 memory channels (290 ~ 299) available for
specifying the start and end frequency, you can
select one or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to
scan.
This is useful when you are waiting for a DX
station on a certain frequency but the station may
appear on slightly higher or lower frequency.
VFO SCAN
VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is
available for the current VFO.
When the Program
Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan
Group is selected for the Program Scan, the
transceiver also scans the entire frequency range
available for the current VFO.
If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are
programmed in memory channels 290 to 299:
1
Press
[FUNC]
,
[SCAN/ SG.SEL]
.
2
If one or more memory channels are selected for
the Program Scan, the selected channels are
displayed in a larger font on the main dot-matrix
display.
In this case, press
[•/ DCS/SEL]
to temporarily
deselect all the channels.
When there are no Scan
Group channels selected, “VFO SCN MODE”
appears on the sub dot-matrix display.
3
Press
[SCAN/ SG.SEL]
to return to the current
VFO mode.
4
Press
[SCAN/ SG.SEL]
to start the VFO Scan.
Note:
◆
While scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the
RIT/ SUB
control.
Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise
to decrease/ increase the scan speed.
The speed indicator
appears on the main dot-matrix display, where P1 is the fastest
speed and P9 is the slowest.
◆
You cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode.
◆
You cannot change the VFO Scan speed on the sub-receiver.
