GROUP SCAN 110 memory channels are divided into 11 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, the memory channel belongs to one of 11 groups as shown below. MGROUP-0 MGROUP-1 MGROUP-2 MGROUP-3 MGROUP-4 MGROUP-5 MGROUP-6 MGROUP-7 MGROUP-8 MGROUP-9 MGROUP-P MGROUP-E Memory Channel Nos. 00 ~ 09 Memory Channel Nos. 10 ~ 19 Memory Channel Nos. 20 ~ 29 Memory Channel Nos. 30 ~ 39 Memory Channel Nos. 40 ~ 49 Memory Channel Nos. 50 ~ 59 Memory Channel Nos. 60 ~ 69 Memory Channel Nos. 70 ~ 79 Memory Channel Nos. 80 ~ 89 Memory Channel Nos. 90 ~ 99 Memory Channel Nos. P0 ~ P9 Memory Channel Nos. E0 ~ E9 ■ Scan Group Select You can select one or more groups to be scanned. First, select the groups to be scanned. 1 Press [M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode. • " " appears. 2 Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to enter Scan Group Select mode. 3 As you turn the MULTI/CH control, the MGROUP number on the sub-display changes. • MGROUP-0 represents Memory channels 0 ~ 9, MGROUP-1 represents Memory channels 10 ~ 19 and so on up to MGROUP-9 which represents Memory channels 90 ~ 99 and MGROUP-P which represents Memory channels P0 ~ P9. 4 Press [M.IN] to select "on" to add the group to the Group Scan list. • If you do not want to scan the selected Group, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "oFF". 5 Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR]. to exit the Scan Group Select mode. SCAN 11 ■ 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. 26. 2 Press [M/V] 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/CH control or press and hold Mic [UP]/ [DWN]. 5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [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. QUICK MEMORY SCAN 1 Press [Q-MR] to enter Quick Memory mode. 2 Press [SCAN (SG.SEL] to start Quick Memory Scan. • Scan starts from the current quick memory channel and ascends up through the channel numbers. (The scan direction cannot be changed.) 3 To stop Scan, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR]. 51
