466SCAN OPERATIONyySCAN OPERATION■ VFO scanThe following scans are available for the VFO scan.FULL SCANRepeatedly scans all frequencies over the entire receiverange.• Some frequency ranges are restricted depending on versions.BAND SCANRepeatedly scans all frequencies over the entire selectedband.PROGRAMMED SCANRepeatedly scans between two user-programmed frequen-cies. Used for checking for frequencies within a specifiedrange such as repeater output frequencies, etc.Skip frequencies are not scanned when the frequency skipfunction is in use. (“P SKIP” appears.)If the same frequencies are programmed into a pair ofscan edges, programmed scan does not start.For programmed scan, scan edges must be programmedin advance. Program scan edges in the same manner ofprogramming a memory channel. (p. 37)q Select VFO mode with [VFO].w Push [5 SKIP] for 1 sec. to toggle the frequency skip func-tion ON or OFF.• “P SKIP” appears when the frequency skip function is turned ON.e Set the squelch level, if desired.r While pushing [MODE SCAN], rotate [DIAL] to select thedesired scan range.• “ALL” for full scan, “BAND” for band scan or “PROG 0–24” forprogrammed scan.t Release [MODE SCAN] to start the scan.• Decimal point blinks while scanning.• “P SKIP” blinks when the frequency skip function is turned ON.• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].• If the pocket beep or DTCS beep function is activated, the trans-ceiver automatically selects the tone squelch or DTCS squelchfunction when a scan starts.y To stop the scan, push [VFO].FMSKIPPFull scan Band scanProgrammed scan Scanning exampleFlashes while scanning.
