These are useful to speed up the scan time.q Select a memory channel:± Push [V/M] to select the memory mode.± Rotate [DIAL] to select a desired channel to be a skipchannel/frequency.wHold down [S.MW](V/M) for 1 second to enter the selectmemory write mode.e Push [MODE] repeatedly to select the “SKIP” item.• While holding down [MODE], rotating [DIAL] can also selectthe “SKIP” item.[DIAL] • Skip settingr While holding down [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to select theskip option from “SKIP,” “PSKIP” or “OFF,” for the selectedchannel.• SKIP : The channel is skipped during a memory or bank scan.• PSKIP : The channel is skipped during a memory/bank scan.The programmed frequency is skipped during a VFOscan, such as a programmed scan.• OFF : The channel or programmed frequency is scanned dur-ing any scan.t Push [MODE] repeatedly, or while holding down [MODE],rotate [DIAL] to select the “S.MW” item.y Hold down [S.MW](V/M) for 1 second to store the skip status.• The “SKIP” or “PSKIP” icon appears, according to the skipselection in step r.• Skip channel setting • Program skip setting“SKIP” appears “PSKIP” appears CONVENIENT!The skip setting can also be set using the following steps, foreasy setting.q Select a desired memory channel to be set as a skipchannel/frequency.w While holding down [FUNC], push [ ](V/M) to select theskip status from “SKIP,” “PSKIP” and “OFF (no indication).”N Skip channel/frequency setting
