476 SCAN OPERATION■ Frequency skip functionUnwanted frequencies can be skipped and programmed asskip channels when full scan, band scan or programmed scanis pausing.q Start a VFO scan. (p. 46)w While receiving an unwanted signal and scan pauses,push [5 SKIP] for 1 sec. to program the received frequencyas a skip frequency.• The transceiver emits 3 beeps and the scan resumes.• Non-programmed memory channels (blank channels) are usedfor skip frequency programming in reverse sequence.• Do not release [5 SKIP] before 1 sec., otherwise, scan stops andthe transceiver enters frequency setting condition.To scan the skip frequency after programming, cancel theskip information or clear the memory channel. (p. 43)■ Skip channel settingMemory channels can be set to be skipped for memory skipscan. In addition, memory channels can be set to be skippedfor both memory skip scan and frequency skip scan. Theseare useful to speed up the scan interval.q Select memory mode with [MR].w Rotate [DIAL] to select memory channel to set the skip in-formation.e Push [5 SKIP] for 1 sec. one or more times to select con-dition.• “OFF” for no skipping of channels, “SKIP” for memory skip scanor “P SKIP” for frequency skip scan and memory skip scan.“P SKIP” setting is effective when the frequency skip func-tion is turned ON.
