SCAN OPERATION

Scan

Scanning is a versatile function that can automatically search for signals. A scan makes it easier to locate stations to contact or listen to, or to skip unwanted channels or frequencies.

DAbout the scan function

In the VFO mode

The frequencies that are set as “PSKIP” are skipped during a scan. (p. 2-5, 9-18)

In the Memory mode

Repeatedly scans all entered Memory channels. The frequencies that are set as skip channels “PSKIP” and “SKIP” are not scanned. (p. 2-8)

L Two or more Memory channels must be entered to start a

memory scan.

DVFO scan

ALL (Full scan)

Repeatedly scans the entire band.

118 MHz 550 MHz

P SKIP

Jump

BAND (Selected band scan) Scans all frequencies over the entire selected band.

Scan edges

L At least one Program scan edge range must be

entered to start a Program scan.

P-LINK0–9 (Program link scan) Sequentially scans the Program scan edge ranges which are set to link on the MENU screen. (p. 9-19) (Scan > Program Link)

Jump

P SKIP

DMemory scan

ALL (Memory full scan)

Scans all Memory channels.

BAND (Selected band memory scan) Scans all Memory channels on the same frequency band as the selected channel.

MODE (Mode memory scan) Scans Memory channels which are entered with the same receiving mode as the currently selected mode.

DMemory bank scan

ALL (Full bank scan)

Scans all banks.

BANK-LINK (Bank link scan) Sequentially scans the banks which are set to link on the MENU screen. (p. 9-18) (Scan > Bank Link)

BANK-A–Z (Bank scan) Scans the Memory channels in the selected bank.

Duplex (DUP) scan

The Duplex scan searches for both TX and RX frequencies which are used in duplex operation. (p. 8-4)

L “D–” or “D+” is displayed in the Duplex mode. L A Duplex scan does not start when the frequency

offset is set to “0.000 MHz.”

Tone scan

The Tone scan searches for tone frequencies or DTCS codes that are used by stations using the Tone Squelch function.

L A Tone scan is usable in any VFO, Memory, or

Call channel mode.

L During a scan, rotate [DIAL] to change the scan

direction. See “Tone Squelch function” or “DTCS code Squelch function” for details. (pp. 10-11, 10-12)

SCAN OPERATION

Scan (Continued)

D[DIAL] operation during a scan

• Rotate [DIAL] to change the scan direction during a scan.

• When the scan is paused, rotate [DIAL] to resume the scan.

DSquelch setting for a scan

You can change the squelch level to suit your operating needs. Set the squelch level to open the squelch, according to the received signal strength. During a scan, rotate [SQL] to adjust the squelch level.

DTuning step for a VFO scan

The selected tuning step is applied to the scan. For a Program scan or Program Link scan, set the tuning step in the Program Scan Edge ranges. (p. 2-9)

DSkip function

The skip function speeds up scanning by not scanning those frequencies set as skip channels. (pp. 2-5, 2-8)

TIP: When “Program Skip” is set to OFF, you cannot use the Scan Skip function. (p. 9-18) (Scan > Program skip)

DWhen a signal is received

When a signal is received, the scan pauses for approximately 10 seconds (default), then resumes. The scan resumes approximately 2 seconds (default) after the signal disappears. To manually resume the scan, rotate [DIAL].

L These settings can be changed on the MENU

screen. (p. 9-18) (Scan > Pause Timer) (Scan > Resume Timer)

The S-meter displays the received signal strength.

DScan Stop Beep function

The Scan Stop Beep function sounds a beep when a signal is received. This function can be turned ON or OFF on the MENU screen. (p. 9-66) (Sounds > Scan Stop Beep)

When receiving a signal

DTemporary Skip timer

The Temporary Skip function temporarily skips unwanted frequencies during a scan, for the set period of time.

• These settings can be changed on the MENU screen. (p. 9-18)

(Scan > Temporary Skip Timer)

DReceive mode during a scan

• The VFO scan uses the selected receive mode.

L For a Program scan or Program Link scan, set the

tuning step in the Program Scan Edge ranges. (p. 2-9)

• During a Memory or Bank scan, the mode entered into the channel is used.

TIP:

• During a scan, rotating [DIAL] changes the scanning direction.

• During a scan, you can change the operating band, scan edge, and so on, in the Quick Menu window.

• The scan continuously runs, even if you push [MENU] or [QUICK] during a scan.

• You can set the tuning step and the operating mode used for a Program scan or Program Link scan. (p. 2-9)

• The transceiver can receive on the AIR, 144 MHz, 230 MHz, 300 MHz, and 430 MHz bands.*

* Selectable band differs, depending on the transceiver’s

version.

2. Push [QUICK].

3. Rotate [DIAL] to select “SKIP.”

• Sets the frequency as a Skip channel into empty Memory channel 999.

• The entered Memory channel number blinks.

L If channel 999 already has content, the transceiver

automatically searches for another blank channel to use. If there is no blank channel, a beep sounds, and the frequency is not set as a Skip channel.

4. After setting, the scan resumes.

TIP: Once frequencies are set as a Skip channel, these frequencies are skipped until clearing the skip setting. To clear the skip setting, see page 2-8 for details.
