SCAN-4VISUAL SCANWhile you are receiving, Visual Scan allows you to monitorfrequencies near the current operating frequency. Visual Scangraphically and simultaneously shows how all frequencies in theselected range are busy. You will see up to 21 segments, for eachchannel, that represent 7 S-meter levels (3 segments per level).Determine the scan range by selecting the center frequency andthe number of channels. The default number of channels is 61.CursorS-meter level■ Selecting the Number of Channels1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 916.2 Set the number of channels to MODE 1 (31ch), MODE 2(61ch), MODE 3 (91ch), or MODE 4 (181ch).■ Using Visual Scan1 Select your desired band.2 Rotate the Tuning control select the operating frequency.• This frequency will be used as the center frequency.3 Press [F], [VISUAL] to start Visual Scan.• To halt Scan, press [PAUSE]. “PAUSE” appears and blinks.Press [PAUSE] again to resume.4 To change the operating frequency, rotate the Tuningcontrol.• The displayed frequency changes and the cursor moves.• Press [SET] to use the changed operating frequency as thecenter frequency.• Press [RESET] to restore the previous operating frequency.5 To exit Visual Scan, press [ESC].Note:◆ You cannot use the Visual Scan Function under the followingcircumstances:• When the APRS/NAVITRA or Packet mode is turnedON.• When only 1 channel has been stored in the memorychannels.• When using Weather Alert (K models only).◆ If you start Visual Scan in Memory Recall mode, the memory channelfrequencies will be scanned.◆ If you start Visual Scan after recalling the Call channel, the Callchannel frequency will be used as the center frequency.◆ If the frequency range specifi ed for Program Scan or Program VFOis narrower than the range specifi ed for Visual Scan, the range forProgram Scan or VFO will be used for Visual Scan.◆ Visual Scan stops while transmitting.◆ If you start Visual Scan in one of the following conditions, you cannotreceive in the current operating frequency. To use this frequency, press[PAUSE] to halt Scan.• Memory Recall or Call Channel mode.• A frequency in the 118, 220, 300, or 1200 MHz band was selectedin VFO mode.◆ Depending on the transceiver conditions, Visual Scan and theconventional S-meter may indicate different signal strength levels.
