277 SCANUSING VISUAL SCAN (MEMORY CHANNEL)1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectyour desired center memory channel.3 Press [F], [INFO] to start the Visual Scan.• The transceiver start scanning the 5 uppermemory channels and 5 lower memorychannels, by centering the selected memorychannel.• The current scanning memory channel numberand frequency are displayed on the currentoperating band. On the other band, the relativeS-meter level of each frequency channel isdisplayed.• To pause Scan, press and hold [MONI]. Whilethe Visual Scan is paused, the centerfrequency bar-graph blinks and you canmonitor the frequency. Release [MONI] toresume the Visual Scan.4 To change the current scanning channel, turn theTuning control or press [ ]/ [ ].5 To stop the Visual Scan, press [F], [INFO].Note:uYou can press [PTT] (or [CALL] if 1750 Hz is programmed) totransmit during the scan if the center frequency is within thetransmission frequency range. The center bar-graph blinks whiletransmitting.uIf 11 or more memory channels are stored, “s” and “t” do notappear.uEven if the Fine Tuning ON status is stored in the memorychannels, the Visual Scan (Memory Channel) starts.MEMORY CHANNEL LOCKOUTYou can lock out memory channels that you prefernot to monitor during Memory Scan.1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectthe memory channel to be locked out.3 Press [F], [MHz].• “ ” appears at the top right of the memorychannel number, indicating the channel islocked out.4 To unlock the memory channel, repeat steps 1 ~ 3.• “ ” disappears.Note:uThe Program Scan memories (L0/U0 ~ L9/U9) and Prioritychannels (Pr1 and Pr2) cannot be locked out.uEven if a memory channel is locked out, you can perform the CallScan {page 25} between the Call channel and memory channel.uIf the same memory channel is recalled to the A and B-band, youcannot lock out the channel.SCAN RESUME METHODThe transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (ormemory channel) where a signal is detected. It thencontinues or stops scanning according to whichresume mode you have selected.• Time-Operated mode (default)The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (ormemory channel) for approximately 5 seconds,then continues to scan, even if the signal is stillpresent.• Carrier-Operated modeThe transceiver remains on the busy frequency (ormemory channel) until the signal drops out. Thereis a 2-second delay between signal dropout andscan resumption.• Seek modeThe transceiver moves to a frequency or memorychannel where a signal is present and stops.To change the scan resume method:1 Press [MNU].2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectMenu No. 1 (SCAN RESUME).3 Press [ ] or [MNU].4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select“TIME ” (Time-Operated mode), “CARRIER”(Carrier-Operated mode), or “SEEK” (Seek mode).5 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the setting.Otherwise, press [ ] or [PTT] to cancel.
