237 SCANuTo perform the Program Scan, the following conditions mustbe met. Otherwise, the Band scan starts {page 22}.•The upper and lower limit frequencies are in the samefrequency band.•Ln < Un (where “n” is the Program Scan channel number).MHz SCANMHz Scan allows you to scan an entire 1 MHzfrequency range within the current VFO frequency.1 Press [VFO].2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selecta frequency in which to perform the MHz Scan. Ifyou want to scan the entire 145 MHz frequency,select any frequency between 145.000 and149.995 MHz (for example, select 145.650 MHz).Scan will operate between 145.000 MHz and145.999 MHz.3 Press [MHz] (1 s) to start the MHz Scan.4 To stop the MHz Scan, press [MHz] or [PTT].Note:uIf the Fine Tuning function is ON, you cannot perform the MHzScan.uIf you press [MONI], MHz Scan temporarily pauses. Release[MONI] to resume scanning.PROGRAM SCANYou can limit the scanning frequency range. Thereare 10 memory channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L9/U9)available for specifying the start and end frequencies.It monitors the range between the start and endfrequencies that you have stored in memory channelsL0/U0 to L9/U9. Before performing the ProgramScan, store the Program Scan frequency range toone of the memory channel pairs L0/U0 ~ L9/U9.n Storing Program Scan Frequency Range1 Press [VFO].2 Press [BAND] to select your desired band.3 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] toselect your desired start frequency.4 Press [F], then turn the Tuning control or press[ ]/ [ ] to select a memory channel from L0 ~L9.5 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]) to store the startfrequency in the memory channel.6 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] toselect your desired end frequency.7 Press [F], then Turn the Tuning control orpress [ ]/ [ ] to select the correspondingchannel from U0 ~ U9 (you must select thesame numeric value as in step 4).• For example, if you selected L0 in step 4,you must select U0 in this step.8 Press [MR] ([ ] or [MNU]) to store the endfrequency in the memory channel.n Performing the Program Scan1 Press [VFO].2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] toselect a frequency within the frequency rangeof memory channel L0/U0 ~ L9/U9.3 Press [VFO] (1 s) to start the Program Scan.4 To stop the Program Scan, press [VFO] or[PTT].Note:uIf you press [MONI], Program Scan temporarily pauses.Release [MONI] to resume scanning.uIf the Fine Tuning function is ON, the scanning does not stopat the busy channels.uThe transceiver stops scanning in all modes when it detectsa signal.uIf more than 2 Program Scan channel pairs are stored andoverlaps the frequency range among the pairs, the smallerProgram Scan memory channel number has the priority.
