22SCANScan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring ofyour favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortablewith all types of Scan, you will increase your operatingefficiency.This transceiver provides the following types of scans.epyTnacS esopruPlamroNnacSnacSdnaB ehtfodnaberitneehtsnacSdetcelesuoyycneuqerfmargorPnacSdeificepsehtsnacSniderotssegnarycneuqerf~0U/0LslennahcyromeM9U/9LnacSzHM nihtiwseicneuqerfehtsnacSegnarzHM1ayromeMnacSlennahC-llAnacS,slennahcyromeMllasnacS993ot0morfnacSpuorG yromeMdeificepsehtsnacSspuorglennahcllaCnacSOFV dnalennahcllaCehtsnacSycneuqerfOFVtnerrucehtyromeMlennahCdnalennahcllaCehtsnacSlennahcyromeMdetcelesehtnacSytiroirPehtnoseitivitcaehtskcehCslennahcytiroirpdeificepssdnoces6yrevelennahCnoitamrofnInacSnoitamrofnIehtsnacSslennahclausiV*nacSOFVsnacS ± ehtniseicneuqerf5raenezispetsdemmargorpgnitarepotnerrucehtlangisehT.ycneuqerfsiycneuqerfhcaefohtgnertshparg-rabanideyalpsidyromeMlennahCslennahcyromeMehtsnacSlangisehtsyalpsiddnaanilennahchcaefohtgnertshparg-rab* Visual Scan graphically shows the busy status of frequencies in aspecific range.Note:uWhile using CTCSS or DCS, Scan unmutes only for the signalsthat contain the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that youselected.uPressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to stop.uStarting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Checker(ASC) {page 14}.NORMAL SCANWhen you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,3 types of scanning are available: Band Scan,Program Scan, and MHz Scan.BAND SCANThe transceiver scans the entire band of thefrequency you selected. For example, if you areoperating and receiving at 144.525 MHz on theA-band, it scans all the frequencies available for the144 MHz band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequencyrange in the specifications {page xx}). When thecurrent VFO receive frequency is outside of theProgram Scan frequency range {below}, thetransceiver scans the entire frequency rangeavailable for the current VFO.1 Press [VFO].2 Press [BAND] to select your desired band.3 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectthe frequency outside of the Program Scanfrequency range {below}.4 Press [VFO] (1 s) to start the Band Scan.5 To stop the Band Scan, press [VFO] or [PTT].Note:uWhile scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction byturning the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ].uIf you select a frequency within the L0/ U0 ~ L9/ U9 range in step3, the Program Scan {below} starts.uIf you press [MONI], Band Scan temporarily pauses. Release[MONI] to resume scanning.uThe transceiver stops scanning in only the AM and FM modeswhen it detects a signal.uIf the Fine Tuning function is ON, scanning does not stop at thebusy channels.uIf you press any ot the following keys during the scan, thetransceiver exits the Scan: [F], [F] (1 s), [LAMP], [MONI],[SQL], Tuning control, [ ], and [ ]
