GROUP SCAN 100 memory channels are divided into 10 groups so that you can select one or more groups to be scanned, depending on the situation. ■ Memory Group When you store frequency data in a memory channel {page 50}, the memory channel belongs to one of 10 groups as shown below. Memory Channel No. 0~9 Memory Group No. MGROUP-0 Memory Channel No. 50 ~ 59 Memory Groupl No. MGROUP-5 10 ~ 19 MGROUP-1 60 ~ 69 MGROUP-6 20 ~ 29 MGROUP-2 70 ~ 79 MGROUP-7 30 ~ 39 MGROUP-3 80 ~ 89 MGROUP-8 40 ~ 49 MGROUP-4 90 ~ 99 MGROUP-9 ■ Scan Group Select You can select one or more groups to be scanned. First, select the groups to be scanned. 1 Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall mode. • "M.CH" appears. 2 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) to enter Scan Group Select mode. 3 As you turn the MULTI control, the MGROUP number on the sub-display changes. • MGROUP-0 represents Memory channel 0 ~ 9, MGROUP-1 represents Memory channel 10 ~ 19 and so on up to MGROUP-9 which represents Memory channel 90 ~ 99. 4 Press [ ] to select "on" to add the group to the Group Scan list. • If you do not wish the selected Group to be scanned, press [ ] to select "oFF". 5 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to exit the Scan Group Select mode. 12 SCAN ■ Performing Group Scan Group Scan starts with the smallest group number and repeats the sequence. For example, if you selected "on" for MGROUP-3, MGROUP-5, and MGROUP-7, the transceiver scans the channels in MGROUP-3 / MGROUP-5 / MGROUP-7 / MGROUP-3 and so on. 1 Select Time-operated or Carrier-Operated mode via Menu No. 11. 2 Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall mode. 3 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch threshold. 4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start Memory Group Scan. • Scan ascends up through the channel numbers. (The scan direction cannot be changed.) • To jump to a desired channel while scanning, turn the MULTI control or press and hold Mic [UP]/ [DWN]. 5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR]. Note: ◆ If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond the squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel in which a signal is present. If this happens, turn the SQL control slightly counterclockwise. ◆ When the current channel is within one of the groups that you selected, Scan starts with the current channel. ◆ When the current channel is outside all the groups that you selected, Scan starts with the group number that is larger than and closest to the group number of the current channel. ◆ Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions. 59
