Press and hold in the [SCAN(SEL)] key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL knob toselect the bandwidth for the VFO scanner. Available se-lections are ±1 MHz, ±2 MHz, ±5 MHz, ALL, PMS-X,and BAND.ALLALLALLALLALL: The scanner will sweep all frequencies between 108 - 520 MHz and 700 -999.990MHz.PMS-XPMS-XPMS-XPMS-XPMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS frequencypair (XXXXX is PMS memory channel number). See page 47 for details.BANDBANDBANDBANDBAND: The scanner will sweep frequencies only on the current band.3. Press the [SCAN(SEL)] key momentarily to start scanning.4. The “P-XXP-XXP-XXP-XXP-XX” indication will appear on the display if youengage PMS scanning, while the “P SCP SCP SCP SCP SC” indication willappear on the display when other scanning modes areengaged.5. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, thescanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink dur-ing this “Pause” condition.6.

You’ll see the scanner turn around and change frequency downward!2) Pressing and holding in the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key will cause the scanner tosweep frequencies only on the current band. If you would like the scanner not to berestricted to the current band, you may change Menu #46 (VFO.BND) to allow the scan-ner to hop to the low edge of the next-highest band when the VFO frequency reaches thehigh end of the current band (or vice- versa). See page 77 for details.SCANNING
