5 BASIC OPERATION5-13■ Band Scope functionThe Band Scope function allows you to visually check a spec-ified frequency range around the center frequency.Band Scope displaySweep markerStrong levelWeak levelThe signal on the146.060 MHzD Sweep operationq Push [QUICK] to open the Quick Menu screen.w Push D-pad() to select “Band Scope,” and thenpush D-pad(Ent).D-pad( )(Ent)e Push D-pad() to select the option between “SingleSweep” and “Continuous Sweep.”r Push D-pad(Ent) to return to the frequency displayand start sweeping.• A single Sweep checks the specified frequency rangeonly one time.• A continuous Sweep repeatedly checks the specified fre-quency range.• Push D-pad(Ent) to stop sweeping and push again torestart it.• When the sweeping stops, rotate [DIAL] to move thesweep marker to a detected signal; you can hear the sig-nal audio.• When the sweeping stops, push [CLR] to cancel theBand Scope function.Center frequency (Example: 146.010 MHz)Example: The tuning step is set to 10 kHz, and astrong signal is received on 146.060 MHz.Example: Continuous sweep on 146.010 MHzWhile continuouslysweepingWhen the sweeping stops,rotate [DIAL] to move thesweep marker to a detect-ed signal. Depending onthe presetting, you mayhear the signal audio.About the sweep steps: The specified tuning step (in VFOmode) or programmed tuning step (in memory mode) isused during a sweep. If the tuning step is set to wide, thepresent signal may not be displayed (may be skipped),even if it is strong signal. Thus we recommend to set thetuning step to 20 kHz or less to use the Band Scope func-tion. See page 5-7 for Tuning step selection details.TIP:• For the single watch operation within the 144 MHz or 430MHz band, the displayed frequency’s audio can be heardduring a sweep.- In the AIR band, the displayed frequency’s audio can-not be heard during a sweep, even if the single watchoperation is selected.• The audio output during a sweep can be turned OFF inthe MENU screen.MENU > Sounds > Scope AF Output (p. 16-91)
