49FT-1900E OPERATING MANUALPROGRAMMABLE B AND -S CAN L IMITSBesides band and memory scanning, this transceiver can be set to tune or scan only thefrequencies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example, you may wish tolimit tuning/scanning to 144.3 - 146.0 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW sub-band between 144.0 and 144.3 MHzThese scanning limits are stored in special “Sub-Band Limit Memories,” labeled L0/U0through L9/U9, with “L” and “U” designations representing the Lower and Upper limits,respectively.To utilize this feature, use the following steps:1. Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory “L0”, and theupper edge in memory “U0” (or, alternatively, in memories “L1/U1” through “L9/U9”).2. With any of these memories recalled, press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to acti-vate the Programmable Band-Scan Limits. The “PMS” icon will appear. Tuning andscanning will now be limited within the just-programmed range.To cancel the Sub-Band Limits and return to normal memory operation, press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily.Do not attempt to initiate “normal” scanning on any of the PMS memory chan-nels. If you do, an error message will result; the “U/L” memories are dedicatedfor the establishment of band scanning limits.S CANNING
