4.7 SCAN
This transceiver provides a special “Scanning Memory Bank” which allows
you to designate certain channels for inclusion in a “loop” which will be
scanned at high speed. If an incoming signal is detected on one of the chan-
nels in the scanning loop, the radio will pause on that channel, allowing you
to listen to the incoming transmission.
1. Select the desired channel to be included in the scanning loop using the
[

key.
2. Press the MEM key to store the channel into the transceiver’s scanning
memory. “MEM” will be displayed on the LCD.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the channels to be scanned.
4. To delete a channel from the transceiver’s scan memory, press the MEM
key again while the memorized channel is displayed. “MEM” will disap-
pear from the display.
5. All channels programmed remain in the transceiver’s scan memory even
if the power is turned off. See section 4.17: “RESETTING THE
TRANSCEIVER’S MICROPROCESSOR” to clear all channels from the
transceiver’s scan memory.
