Memory select scan allows you to increase scan effi-
ciency by searching for specified channels only,
thereby increasing the rate at which the scan cycles
through the memory channels. Set high priority chan-
nels as ‘select’ channels (memory select scan
searches for signals on these channels) while leaving
out lower priority channels.

Select the channel you want to specify as a ‘select’
channel, then push [SEL] for 1 sec.

Push [SEL] again to stop the scan.
NOTE:Memory select scan does not start unless
2 or more channels in the bank are specified as
select channels.
