81Scanning FunctionProgrammable Memory Channel Scan (PMS)Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels50 sets of PMS memory channels (L1/U1 to L50/U50) are available.To specify a range of frequencies to scan, register the lower limit frequency to a memorychannel L1 to L50 and the upper limit frequency to a memory channel U1 to U50. Makesure to use the corresponding numbers for the lower and upper limit memory channels.PMS memory channels (L1/U1 to L50/U50) are listed after memory channel 999. Pressingthe key advances the memories at 100-channel increments.For details on registering frequencies to the memory channels, see “Registering toMemory Channel” on page 55.Cautionsy If the upper and lower limit frequencies are set in different steps, the scan width must be 100 kHz ormore.y The lower and upper limit memory channels must be within the same frequency band. Programmablememory channel scanning does not function if the frequency bands are different.Performing Programmable Memory Channel ScanThe programmable memory channel scan allows setting a specified frequency rangewithin the same frequency band.1 Press the key to enter Memory mode.2 Recall the PMS memory channel to which the lower limit or upper limit of the frequencyis registered.3 Touch [F MW].The function menu appears on the LCD.4 Touch [SCAN].Programmable memory channel scanning starts.During scanning, “PMS” and “P*” appear.Tips • Rotate the DIAL clockwise to start scanning toward higherfrequencies.• Rotate the DIAL counterclockwise to start scanning towardlower frequencies.• When a signal is received during scanning, scanning stopsfor 5 seconds to receive the signal on frequency.• When scanning stops, the decimal point blinks and the LCDremains illuminated.• After receiving the signal for 5 seconds, scanning resumes.• Touch [STOP] or press to cancel scanning.• After scanning is canceled, press the key twice toreturn to VFO mode.The decimal point blinks.
