42 FT-8800R Operating ManualPROGRAMMABLE (BAND L IMIT) MEMORY S CAN (PMS)This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.For example, you might with to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to 148.000MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the bandbelow 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary.2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store 144.300 MHz into Memory Channel #L1 (the“L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the “U” designates the Uppersub-band limit).4. Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M] key once, then rotate the DIAL knobto select Memory Channel # L1.5. Press and hold in the [SCN] key for 1/2 second to start PMS operation; the “MT” labelwill be appears on the display. Tuning and scanning (engaged by pressing the [SCN] keymomentarily) will now be limited within the just-programmed range.6. Ten pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L10/U10 are available. Youtherefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.S CANNING
