221. In the VFO mode, set the frequency that you do not want to receive.2. Register the skip search memory (901-999) with the same steps as “Registering toMemory Channels” (see the Operating Manual).The skip search memory may be deleted with the same steps as “Clearing Memories” (seethe Operating Manual). The deleted frequency is scanned again.Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS)Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels50 sets of PMS memory channels (L1/U1 to L50/U50) are available.• Register the lower and upper frequencies of the frequency range in a pair of Program-mable Memory Channels.L££:Lower limit memory channelU££:Upper limit memory channel• For more details on registering frequencies to the memory channel, see “Registeringto Memory channels” (see the Operating Manual).• Make sure to use the corresponding numbers for the lower and upper limit memorychannels.• Set the PMS memory channel for performing the Programmable Memory scanning (PMS)as follows:• The scan width of the upper and lower limit frequencies must be 100 kHz or more.• The lower and upper limit memory channels must be within the same frequency band.• The lower and upper limit memory channels must not be registered in reverse.• The PMS memory channel must not be registered as a skip memory channel.Performing Programmable Memory Channel ScanThe programmable memory channel scan allows scanning a specified frequency rangewithin the same frequency band.1. Recall the PMS memory channel to which the lower limit (L££) or upper limit (U££)of the frequency band is registered.2. Touch [F MW] [SCAN].• If [SCAN] is not displayed, touch [BACK ←] to display [SCAN] and then touch it.• Programmable memory channel scanning starts.• During scanning, “PMSP££” appears on the upper left side of the display.• If the DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the scanning will contin-ue up or down in frequency according to the direction of the DIAL Knob rotation.If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the back light will turn ON and the deci-mal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency display will blink.Scanning will resume in about five seconds.3. Touch [STOP] or press the PTT switch to cancel the scanning.In this state (displayed as “PMSP££” at the upper left of the display), the frequencycan be changed by turning the DIAL knob only in the upper/lower limit frequencyrange stored by PMS memory.z Disable the PMS function1. Press the [V/M] key.Return to the normal memory mode.
