Page 22For example, you can program so that the transceiver scans a range from 144.50 to 145.80 in the VHF band.Use the following procedure to specify the desired scan limit.1) Press the band key to select the desired Band.2) Select the desired upper scan limit.3) Press and hold the M key for longer than one second, then press the 5 key.4) Select the desired lower scan limit.5) Press and hold the M key for longer than one second, then press the 4 key.Notes1 Initialize the VFO memory (VFO RESET) to clear both programmed limits simultaneously. Pressand hold the F key and turn on the power. You can reprogram either limit independently.2 Programmable band scan is not initiated when the lower frequency limit is not in the same band orstep size, or when it is higher than the upper limit frequency.Confirming Scan Limit• Press the F key for longer than one second, then press the 4 key to display the band scan lower frequencylimit.• Press the F key for longer than one second, then press the 5 key to display the band scan upper frequencylimit.Initiating Programmable Band Scan1) Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.2) Select a frequency between the two programmed scan limits.3) Press and hold the VFO key for longer than one second.The MHz indicator will flash when the transceiver is scanning.7 MHz Scan1) Adjust the SQL control to the threshold point.2) Start the band scan or programmable band scan.3) Press the MHz key during band scan or programmable band scan.Scanning begins in an upward sequence over a 1 MHz range.Example: If the MHz key is pressed when the frequency is 145.02 MHz for VHF band scan, just the 145 MHzband is scanned.
