SCRATCH PAD MEMORY
What is scratch pad memory?
During VFO operation, the transceiver automatically memo­rizes operating frequency information when transmitting on a new frequency. There are 2 types of scratch pad memories, those for simplex operation, L1–L3, and those for duplex (re­peater) operation, r1–r3. These memories can be conve­niently recalled.
NOTE: When memory mode is selected, the frequency is
not programmed into a scratch pad.
Calling up a scratch pad
memory
Select the call channel by pushing [M/CALL] once or twice
to display a large “C” in the memory channel display.
Rotate the tuning dial to select a scratch pad memory.
Previously transmitted frequency and one of L1”–“L3 orr1”–“r3 appears.
When first applying power of after CPU resetting, scratch pad
memories contain no data and therefore cannot be selected.
Push [V/MHz] or [M/CALL] to exit the scratch pad memory.
NOTES:
The 3rd scratch pad memory (L3 or r3) will be cleared
when transmitting on a new frequency . If the transmit fre­quency is already stored in a scratch pad memory, the scratch pad memory is not cleared but the order is changed.
When transmitting on a scratch pad memory, the scratch
pad memory becomes the 1st scratch pad memory (L1 or r1) and the order is changed.

SCAN OPERATION
Scan types
Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes.
There are 3 scan types and 5 resume conditions to suit your operating needs.
FULL SCAN (p. 37)
Repeatedly scans all frequen­cies over the entire band. Used as the simplest scan without any preliminary set­tings necessary.
PROGRAMMED SCAN
(p. 37)
Repeatedly scans between two user-programmed fre­quencies. Used for checking for frequencies within a speci­fied range such as repeater output frequencies, etc. 3 pairs of scan edges are avail­able.
MEMORY SCAN (p. 37)
Repeatedly scans memory channels except those set as skip channels. Used for often­called channels and for by­passing normally busy channels such as repeater frequencies.
P
SCAN RESUME CONDITION (p. 41)
5 resume conditions are avail­able: 3 timer scans, pause scan and empty scan. When receiving a signal, pause scan pauses until the signal disappears; timer scans pause for 5, 10 or 15 sec. Empty pause scan pauses until a signal appears.
NOTE: A tone scan function is available to search for sub-
audible tones (e.g. when you want to find a subaudible
tone frequency necessary to open a repeater). See p. 48 for details.
