266SCAN OPERATION6■ Scan start/stopD PreparationScan resume condition ((p. 29)); program the scan edges((p. 27)); program two or more memory channels ((p. 17)); setskip settings ((p. 28)), if desired.D OperationqPush [V/MHz•SCAN] to select VFO mode for full/pro-grammed scan; or push [MR•SKIP] to select memorymode for memory/bank scan.• Select the desired bank in memory type selection mode for bankscan.wSet the squelch level to the point where noise is just muted.e Push and hold [V/MHz•SCAN] for 1 sec. to start the scan.• To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].• The memory channel readout blinks the scan type as below.r Push [TS•MODE] (or [SET•LOCK]) to switch full and pro-grammed scan (P00 to P49), if VFO is selected in step q.t To stop the scan, push [V/MHz•SCAN].About the scanning steps: The selected tuning step ineach frequency band (in VFO mode) is used during scan.The bank-link setting can be changed in set mode. See((p. 40)) for details.• During full scan • During programmed scan • During memory scan • During bank scanIndicates scan edge channels.• P01 stands for 01A/01B• P00 to P49 are available whenthey are programmed, andswitches with [SET•LOCK].Indicates bank channel.Push [SET•LOCK] to se-lect full (ALL) or program-med scan (P00–P49) insequence.While pushing and holding [V/MHz•SCAN], rotate [DIAL]also to select full (ALL) or programmed scan (P00–P49).NOTE: When SSB, CW, AM, FM or WFM mode frequenciesare programmed into memory channels disorderly, memoryscan takes a lot of time (very slow). Because changingmodes takes a time. In this case, assign the SSB, CW, AM,FM or WFM mode frequencies into the separate bankrespectively. And using the bank scan is helpful.IMPORTANT!: To perform memory or bank scan, two ormore memory/bank channels MUST be programmed, oth-erwise the scan will not start.
