Scan Group Select
You can select one or more groups to be scanned.
First, select the groups to be scanned.
1 Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall
mode.
“M.CH” appears.
2 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] (1 s) to enter Scan Group
Select mode.
3 As you turn the MULTI control, the MGROUP
number on the sub-display changes.
MGROUP–0 represents Memory channel 0 ~
9, MGROUP–1 represents Memory channel 10
~ 19 and so on up to MGROUP–9 which
represents Memory channel 90 ~ 99.
4 Press [ ] to select “on” to add the group to the
Group Scan list.
If you do not wish the selected Group to be
scanned, press [ ] to select “oFF”.
5 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to exit the Scan Group
Select mode.
Performing Group Scan
Group Scan starts with the smallest group number
and repeats the sequence. For example, if you
selected “on” for MGROUP–3, MGROUP–5, and
MGROUP–7, the transceiver scans the channels in
MGROUP–3 / MGROUP–5 / MGROUP–7 /
MGROUP–3 and so on.
1 Select Time-operated or Carrier-Operated mode
via Menu No. 11.
2 Press [A/B / M/V] (1 s) to enter Memory Recall
mode.
3 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch
threshold.
4 Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to start Memory Group
Scan.
Scan ascends up through the channel numbers.
(The scan direction cannot be changed.)
•To jump to a desired channel while scanning,
turn the MULTI control or press and hold Mic
[UP]/ [DWN].
5 To stop Scan, press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] or
[MTR/ CLR].
Note:
If you have turned the
SQL
control clockwise, far beyond the
squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel in which a
signal is present. If this happens, turn the
SQL
control slightly
counterclockwise.
When the current channel is within one of the groups that you
selected, Scan starts with the current channel.
When the current channel is outside all the groups that you
selected, Scan starts with the group number that is larger than
and closest to the group number of the current channel.
Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT functions.
