The “ONLYONLYONLYONLYONLY”selection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan”, describedin the next column.6. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting andexit to normal operation.When you recall the “skipped” memory channel manually, asmall “W” icon will appear at the left of the frequency display,indicating it is to be ignored during scanning.To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “OFF”in step 5 above (the “Skipped” channel will, of course, still be accessible via manualchannel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode,whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).SCANNINGMEMORY S CANNING
