SCANScan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types ofScan will increase your operating efficiency.This transceiver provides the following types of scans:Scan Type Scan RangeVFO Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band.Memory Scan Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.Group Scan Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which belong to the group you havespecified.Program Scan Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on the current band.MHz Scan Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the originating frequency.Call Scan Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memorychannel.Note:X Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.X While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, scan will immediately resume if the received signal does not containthe same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected.X Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band.X Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF.SELECTING A SCAN RESUME METHODThe transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memorychannel on which a signal is detected. It then continuesscanning according to which resume mode you haveselected. You can choose one of the following modes.The default is Time-operated mode.• Time-Operated modeThe transceiver remains on a busy frequency orMemory channel for approximately 5 seconds, andthen continues to scan even if the signal is still present.• Carrier-Operated modeThe transceiver remains on a busy frequency orMemory channel until the signal drops out. There isa 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scanresumption.• Seek modeThe transceiver remains on a busy frequency orMemory channel even after the signal drops out anddoes not automatically resume scanning.Note: To temporarily stop scanning and monitor weak signals, press[MONI].1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 150.2 Set the Scan Resume mode to “Time” (Time-Operated), “Carrier” (Carrier-Operated) or “Seek”(Seek).Q Time-Operate Resume TimeSet the hold time for the Time-Operate scan method.When a signal is received, scan will pause at thatfrequency for the duration of the hold time you set.When the set time elapses, scan will resume (even ifthe signal is still being received).1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 151.2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec.Q Carrier-Operated Resume TimeSet the hold time for the Carrier-Operate scan method.When a signal is received, scan will pause at thatfrequency. When the signal stops, scan will resumeafter the duration of the hold time you set.1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 152.2 Set the resume time to 1 ~ 10 sec.SCAN – 1
