VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL 49MEMORY SCANNINGMemory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M(DW)MT] key, if necessary.2. Press and hold in the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key for one second, and rotate theDIAL knob while holding in the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key to select the desiredMemory Scan mode. Available selections are ALL CH, TAG1, TAG2, BAND, andPMS-X.ALL CH: The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.TAG1: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same “first” digitof the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.TAG2: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same “first” and“second” digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scan-ning started.BAND: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized onthe same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS fre-quency pair. See page 52 for details.Note: When an alpha-numeric “Tag” is appended to the Low sub-band limitmemory channel, the alpha-numeric “Tag” will appear while you are select-ing the Memory Scan mode.3. Release the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key to initiate scanning.4. 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-Re-sume mode set previously. When there are no memory channelscorresponding to the selected Memory Scan mode, the “MSERR” notation will appear on the display.5. To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or the [V/M(DW)MT] key.How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan OperationIf the scanner repeatedly stops on a memory channel due to temporary noise or interfer-ence, you can mark it to be skipped by pressing the [F/W] key, followed by the [5(SKIP)]key while the scanner has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instanta-neously resume, and that channel will not be scanned henceforth.As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver toresume scanning.Here is the procedure for skipping certain memories during scanning:1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.2. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.SCANNING
