Page 107FT-2000D OPERATING MANUALTo limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory Scan-ning (PMS) feature, which utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“P-1L/P-1U” through “P-9L/P-9U”). The PMSfeature is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur licenseclass.1. Store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit fre-quencies into the memory pair “P-1L” and “P-1U,” re-spectively, or any other “L/U” pair of memories in thespecial PMS memory area. See page 97 for details re-garding memory storage.2. Press the [V/M] button to enter the Memory mode.3. Press the [M CH] button momentarily.When you press the [M CH] button, the Red LED im-bedded within the switch should light up, indicatingthat you are ready to choose a channel into which tostore the data.ADVICE:If the Red LED imbedded in the [M CH] button doesnot light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp tothe right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob is not illuminated.If it is, press the [A/B] button to make it go out, thenpress the [M CH] button again.4. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select memory chan-nel “P-1L” or “P-1U.”5. Rotate the Main [SQL] knob so that the backgroundnoise is just silenced.6. Turn the Main Tuning Dial knob slightly (to activatememory tuning). Tuning and scanning are now limitedto the range within the P-1L/P-1U limits until you pressthe [V/M] button to return to memory channel or Mainband (VFO-A) operation.7. Press and hold in the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN]key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specifieddirection.ADVICE: If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the deci-mal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits ofthe frequency display will blink. If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will re-sume in about five seconds. On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, thescanner will pause on a received signal, then willstep across the signal very slowly, giving you timeto stop the scan, if you like. In these modes on theVFO, the scanner does not stop, however. If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing themicrophone’s [UP] or [DWN] key will cause scan-ning to resume instantly.8. If you rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob in the oppo-site direction from the current scanning direction (inother words, you rotate the dial to the left when scan-ning toward a higher frequency), the direction of thescan will reverse.9. If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scan-ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTTswitch during scanning will not cause transmission,however.Main [SQL] Knob[SUB VFO-B] Knob[V/M] Button[M CH] Button[A/B] ButtonPMS (PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY S CANNING)
