346SCAN OPERATIONNew20016■ Auto memory write scanThis scan is useful for searching a specified frequencyrange, and automatically storing busy frequencies intomemory channels. The same frequency ranges used for aprogram scan are also used for an auto memory write scan.q Start a VFO scan.➥ Push [V/M] to select the VFO mode.➥ Set the squelch level.➥ Hold down [SCAN](MODE) for 1 second to enter thescan type selection mode.➥ Rotate [DIAL] to select a desired scanning type.• Select “ALL” for full scan, “BAND” for band scan, “P-LINKx” for programmed link scan (x= 0 to 9), “PROGxx” for pro-grammed scan (xx= 0 to 24; only programmed scan edgenumbers are displayed).➥ Push [SCAN](MODE) to start the scan.w Push [V/M] to turn the auto memory write function ON orOFF.• The “ ” icon blinks.• Push [SCAN](MODE) to stop the scan.[DIAL] During auto memorywrite scanThe “ ” icon blinksduring auto memorywrite scan.D During auto memory write scanning:• When a signal is received, the scan pauses for approxi-mately 5 seconds and the frequency is stored into anauto memory write channel group (AW000–AW199).- 2 short beeps sound when stored.• The scan resumes after frequency storing.• When all channels are stored, the scan automaticallystops and 1 long beep sounds.D Re-calling the stored frequencies:q Push [V/M] to select the memory mode.w Push [BAND] repeatedly, or while holding down [BAND],rotate [DIAL], to select the auto memory write channel group.• “AW” appears.e Rotate [DIAL] to select a desired channel.“AW” appears when theauto memory write channelgroup is selected.D Clearing the stored frequencies:q Select the auto memory write channel group.w While holding down [FUNC], push and hold [S.MW](V/M)for 1 second to clear all the channels’ contents.• 1 short and 1 long beep sounds.NOTE: The auto memory write channel contents CANNOTbe cleared by an independent channel. Thus it is a goodidea to copy the contents into a regular memory channel.
