42 FT-7800R OPERATING MANUALMEMORY S CANNINGMemory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M(MW)] key, if necessary.2. Press the [SCAN(SEL)] key to initiate scanning.3. As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strongenough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-Resumemode set previously.4. To cancel scanning, press the [SCAN(SEL)] key again (or press the microphone’s PTTkey).You may initiate the memory channel scan by pressing and holding in themicrophone’s [UP] or [DWN] key.How to Skip (Omit) a Channel During Memory Scan OperationSome continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station will seriously impedescanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-Resume mode, as the incomingsignal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels maybe “Skipped” during scanning, if you like:1. Set the radio to the Memory Mode by pressing the [V/M(MW)] key, if necessary.2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.3. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode.4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #40 (SKIP).5. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotatethe DIAL knob to “SKIP.” The current Memory Channelwill now be ignored during scanning. The small “SKIP”icon will also appear when you recall the “Skipped”memory channel manually. The “ONLY” selection is usedfor “Preferential Memory Scan,” described in the next column.6. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold inthe [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation.7. To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “OFF” in step 5 above (the “Skipped”channel will still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIALknob in the MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).S CANNING
