For example, if you are operating and receivingat 144.525 MHz, it scans all the frequencies available forthe VHF band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency rangein the specifications {page 70}.) When the current VFOreceive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequencyrange {below}, the transceiver scans the entire frequencyrange available for the current VFO.1 Press [VFO] and turn the Tuning control or pressMic [UP]/[DWN] to select a frequency outside of theProgram Scan frequency range.2 Press [VFO] (1s) to start Band Scan.• Scan starts from the current frequency.• The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress.3 Press any key other than [F] or [ ] (Power) to stopBand Scan.Note:◆ The transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in MenuNo. 7 (P.VFO) {page 59}.◆ If you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L2/U2 range in step 2,Program Scan starts.PROGRAM SCANYou can limit the scanning frequency range. There are3 memory channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2) available forspecifying the start and end frequencies. ProgramScan monitors the range between the start and endfrequencies that you have stored in these MemoryChannels. Before performing Program Scan, store theProgram Scan frequency range to one of the MemoryChannel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2).■ Storing a Program Scan Frequency Range1 Press [VFO] and turn the Tuning control orpress Mic [UP]/[DWN] to select your desired startfrequency.2 Press [F].• A Memory Channel number appears and blinks.3 Turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN]to select a Memory Channel from L0 ~ L2.4 Press [MR] to store the start frequency in theMemory Channel.5 Turn the Tuning control to select your desired endfrequency.6 Press [F].
