4-4. SCANBoth Memory Scan and Program Scan are possible. In theAM and FM modes, scanning stops when the BUSY indi-cator lights. (This is known as Time Operated (about fiveseconds) Scan.) Time Operated Scan can be changed toCarrier Operated Scan (in which scanning stops when anAM or FM signals is present). Consult the authorized KEN-WOOD dealer where you purchased the radio from for mo-dification information.Notes:1. The BUSY indicator lights in the following cases:(A) When the SQL knob is turned counterclockwisefrom the point at which the squelch circuit mutesthe audio (threshold).(B) When an input signal is present.2. If the present mode is other than AM or FM, Time Oper-ated Scan will be applied regardless of where the SQLknob is set or whether input signals are present or not.4-4-1. Memory scanThe R-5000 stops on a busy channel in the AM or FMmodes. The radio will remain on the busy channel for ap-proximately 5 seconds and then start to scan again.To initiate memory scan of all memory channels1. Press the VFO/M key to select the Memory Channelmode.2. Press the SCAN key. Scan will begin at memory chan-nel 00, or the lowest numbered channel containingdata.3. You can stop scanning by pressing the CLEAR key.4. To resume scan press the SCAN key again. Scan willresume from the point that you stopped.To initiate memory scan of specific memory channelgroupsThe 100 memory channels are divided into 10 groups (00to 09,10 to 19, .... , 90 to 99). All Memory Channels in thegroups are scanned.1. Select Memory Channel operation.2. While pressing the SCAN key, select the desiredgroup(s) number using the Numeric Keypad.A maximum of ten groups can be selected. Scanningwill proceed from lower numbered groups to highernumbered groups regardless of the sequence of select-ed group numbers.GroupNumberMemoryChannelGroupNumberMemoryChannel0 0— 9 5 50-591 10-19 6 60692 2029 7 70793 30 39 8 80 894 4049 9 90-99Note:All scanning groups (0 to 9) are selected upon shipmentfrom out factory and when the microprocessor is reset.3. When you release the SCAN key, scanning starts.Notes:1. If no valid memory channel exists in a selected group,scanning will be automatically reset and memory chan-nel restarts. A valid memory channel is one channelwhich is not locked out and in which a frequency isstored.2. Locked-out Memory Channels will be skipped. (See"Memory Channel Lockout" section on Page 24.)Exmple 1:When group number 2 is selected:Exmple 2:Group numbers 8 and 3 are selected and numbers onthe Numeric keypad are pressed in that sequence.4. To resume scan, press the SCAN key again.5. To clear scanning, press the CLEAR key.Note:The R-5000 microprocessor remembers the various scanparameters that you have specified and will follow what-ever you have entered the next time you press the SCANkey.Example:Previously programmed memory scan data was to scanMemory Channels 20-29 and 40-49.To scan this same range again simply press the SCANkey.The R-5000 will continue to execute scan according to theabove parameter until you manually change the informa-tion. This saves a lot of key strokes if you always scan thesame ranges, etc.4-4-2. Program scanIn the program scan mode the R-5000 will scan fromchannel 8 to channel 9 of the current memory channelgroup. This allows you to program up to 10 different scanranges; 18 — 19, 28 — 29, 38 — 39.... The program scanstep size is determined by the mode in channel 8 and theSTEP key. To specify which group to scan press the M. INkey to enter the Memory Scroll mode. Select the desiredmemory channel group using any desired method, you canselect any memory channel of the desired group. After thegroup has been specified press the CLEAR key to return tothe VFO mode. Scan will begin at the frequency specifiedin memory X 8 and proceed up or down, depending on thefrequency entered into channel X 9. Scan will go up if thefrequency in X 9 is greater than X 8 and down if channel X9 is less than X 8.23
