SCAN
Scan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring of
your favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortable
with all types of Scan, you will increase your operating
efficiency.
This transceiver provides the following types of scans.

Note:
◆
While using CTCSS in FM mode, Scan stops only for the signals
that contain the same CTCSS tone that you selected.
◆
Pressing Mic
[PTT]
causes Scan to stop.
NORMAL SCAN
When you are operating the transceiver in VFO mode,
2 types of scanning are available.
• VFO Scan
The transceiver scans the entire frequency range
of the transceiver. For example, if you are
operating and receiving on the transceiver’s VFO
A at 14.195.00 MHz, it scans entire frequencies in
the range of 30.00 kHz to 59.999.99 MHz. (Refer
to available VFO frequency range in the
Specifications.)
• Program Scan
By programming the start and end frequency in
Memory channels 90 ~ 99 {page 53}, you can limit
the scanning frequency range. Since there are 10
memory channels (90 ~ 99) available for
specifying the start and end frequency, you can
select one or more (a maximum of 10) ranges to
scan. This is useful when you are waiting for a DX
station on a certain frequency but the station may
appear on a slightly higher or lower frequency.
VFO SCAN
VFO Scan scans the entire frequency range that is
available for the current VFO. When the Program
Scan frequency range is not programmed or no Scan
Group is selected for the Program Scan, the
transceiver also scans the entire frequency range
available for the current VFO.
The memory channel numbers 90 ~ 99 have alias
names, “VGROUP”. “VGROUP–0” represents
channel 90, “VGROUP–1” represents channel 91,
“VGROUP–2” represents channel 92, and so on up to
“VGROUP–9” which represents channel 99.
If one or more Program Scan frequency ranges are
programmed in VGROUP–0 to 9 (Memory channel
numbers 90 ~ 99 in other words):
1 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) in VFO mode.
• “VGROUP -- n” (where n represents a
VGROUP number from 0 to 9) appears on the
sub-display.
2 Turn the MULTI control to select the Program
Scan memory (VGROUP–0 to VGROUP–9). As
you select the channel, “on” or “oFF” appears on
the frequency display. “on” signifies that the
selected VGROUP is active for the Program Scan
and “oFF” signifies that the selected VGROUP is
inactive for the Program Scan.
Configure all VGROUP channels (VGROUP–0 ~
VGROUP–9) as “oFF” by pressing [ ].
3 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to return
to the current VFO mode.
4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start the VFO Scan.
5 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or [MTR/ CLR] to stop the
VFO Scan.
Note:
◆
While scanning, you can change the scan speed by turning the
RIT/ XIT
control. Turn the control clockwise/ counterclockwise to
decrease/ increase the scan speed. The speed indicator
appears on the sub-display, where P1 is the fastest speed and
P9 is the slowest.
◆
You cannot change the VFO Scan speed in FM mode.
PROGRAM SCAN
Program Scan monitors the range between the start
and end frequencies that you have stored in Memory
channels 90 ~ 99 (VGROUP–0 ~ 9). Refer to
“STORING FREQUENCY RANGES” {page 53} for
details on how to store the start and end frequencies
to Memory channels 90 ~ 99 (VGROUP–0 ~ 9).
You can select a maximum of 10 memory channels
(VGROUP 0 to 9) and sequentially scan the frequency
ranges that you stored in these channels. If the
current VFO frequency falls within the selected
VGROUP frequency range, the Program Scan starts
from the VGROUP number and then continues to
scan the next larger VGROUP number. If the current
VFO frequency is outside all of the VGROUP
frequency ranges, the Program Scan starts from the
smallest VGROUP number that is selected as “on”
(each VGROUP can be set to either “on” or “oFF”).
1 Press [A/B / M/V] to select VFO A or VFO B.
2 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s).
3 Turn the MULTI control or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN]
to select the memory channel (VGROUP–0 to
