26SCANScan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies.Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operatingefficiency.This transceiver provides the following type of scans:Band Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band.Program Scan Scans the specified frequency ranges stored in Memorychannels L0/U0 ~ L2/U2.Memory Scan Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.CALL Scan Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFOfrequency or Memory channel.Priority Scan Checks the activities on the Priority channel (Pr) every3 seconds.Note:◆ When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver stops at a busy frequencyand decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiverunmutes. Otherwise, it resumes scanning.◆ Press and hold [MONI] to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency.Release [MONI] to resume scanning.◆ Pressing [MENU] causes scan to stop.◆ If you press any key other than the following keys during scan, the transceiver exits scan(excluding Priority Scan): [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL], [F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP].BAND SCANThe transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you selected. Forexample, if you are operating and receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all thefrequencies available for the 2 m band. When the current VFO receivingfrequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 38}, thetransceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO.1 Press [VFO].2 Rotate the ENC control to select the frequency outside of the Program Scanfrequency range.3 Press [VFO] (1s).• Scan starts at the current frequency.• The 1 MHz point blinks while scanning is in progress.• To change the scan direction, rotate the ENC control clockwise orcounterclockwise .4 To exit Band Scan, press any key other than [MONI], [LAMP], [F], [SQL],[F] (1s), or [F] - [LAMP].
