39FT-8900R Operating ManualMEMORY S CANNINGMemory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary.2. Press the [SCN] 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 [SCN] key again (or press the microphone’s PTT key).On the “right” band, Memory Channel scan will only search through the memorychannels which are stored inside the 144 MHz and 430 MHz amateur bands.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] key, if necessary.2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.3. Press and hold the [SCN] key for 1/2 second so as to make the small “SKIP” icon appearon the display. The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning. Thesmall “SKIP” icon will also appear when you recall the “skipped” memory channel manu-ally.The “” selection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan,” described in thenext column.4. To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, press and hold in the [SCN] key for1/2 second twice to select “OFF” (the “Skipped” channel will, of course, still be acces-sible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the MR mode, whetheror not it is locked out of the scanning loop).S CANNING
