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:
X Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.
X While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, scan will immediately resume if the received signal does not contain
the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected.
X Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band.
X Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF.
SELECTING A SCAN RESUME METHOD
The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory
channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues
scanning according to which resume mode you have
selected. You can choose one of the following modes.
The default is Time-operated mode.
• Time-Operated mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or
Memory channel for approximately 5 seconds, and
then continues to scan even if the signal is still present.
•
Carrier-Operated mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or
Memory channel until the signal drops out. There is
a 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scan
resumption.
• Seek mode
The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or
Memory channel even after the signal drops out and
does not automatically resume scanning.
Note: To temporarily stop scanning and monitor weak signals, press
[MONI].
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 150.
2 Set the Scan Resume mode to “Time” (Time-
Operated), “Carrier” (Carrier-Operated) or “Seek”
(Seek).
Q Time-Operate Resume Time
Set the hold time for the Time-Operate scan method.
When a signal is received, scan will pause at that
frequency for the duration of the hold time you set.
When the set time elapses, scan will resume (even if
the signal is still being received).
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 151.
2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec.
Q Carrier-Operated Resume Time
Set the hold time for the Carrier-Operate scan method.
When a signal is received, scan will pause at that
frequency. When the signal stops, scan will resume
after the duration of the hold time you set.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 152.
2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec.
