SCAN' Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of yourfavorite frequencies. After becoming comfortable with howto use all types of Scan, the monitoring flexibility gained willincrease your operating efficiency.This transceiver provides the following types of Scan:3 pVFO Scan General update on band activity.Memory Scan Quick activity update of yourfavorite frequencies.Program Scan Similar to VFO Scan except overa narrower segment of the band.CallVFO Scan _| Monitor the Call channel plus any| VFO frequency.Cal/Memory Scan Monitor the Call channel pius anyMemory channel.Note:@ Remember to adjust the squeich threshold level {page 14} beforeusing Scan.@ Always turn OFF Monitor {page 48} before using Scan.¢ For CTCSS operation {page 36}, Scan stops for any signal received;however the squelch opens only for signals that contain the sameCTCSS Tone that is stored in your transceiver.¢@ For DTSS operation {page 37}, Scan stops for any signal received;however, the squelch opens only for signals that contain the sameDOTSS code that is stored in your transceiver.@ When both CTCSS and DTSS are ON, Scan stops for signals thatcontain the matching CTCSS Tone. However, the squelch opensonly when the matching DTSS code is received.SCAN RESUME METHODSBefore using Scan, it’s necessary to decide under whatcondition you want your transceiver to continue scanningafter detecting and stopping for a signal.Access “SCN” in Menu A to choose Time-Operated Scan orCarrier-Operated Scan. The default is Time-Operated Scan{page 17}.m@ Time-Operated ScanYour transceiver stops scanning after detecting a signal,remains there for approximately 5 seconds, and thencontinues to scan even if the signal is still present.m Carrier-Operated ScanYour transceiver stops scanning after detecting a signaland remains on the same frequency until the signaldrops out. There is a 2 second delay between signaldrop-out and scan resumption to allow time for anyresponding stations to begin transmitting.Note:@ =Turning the Tuning control clockwise, or pressing microphone[UP] after a signal that has stopped Scan clears, causesscanning to resume immediately upward.* =Turning the Tuning contro! counterclockwise, or pressingmicrophone [DWN] after a signal that has stopped Scan clears,causes scanning to resume immediately downward. |
