SCAN  11  
PROGRAM SCAN PARTIALLY SLOWED
You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency points for 
each memory channel from P0 to P9 so that Program 
Scan slows down the scanning speed.  To specify the 
slow down frequency points, fi rst program the start 
and end frequencies into a memory channel (P0 ~ P9).
1  Access Menu No. 23 to confi rm that the function is 
ON (default is ON).
2  You can further confi gure the slow down frequency 
width.  Access Menu No. 24 to select the range 
from 100 Hz to 500 Hz (default is 300 Hz).
Note:  If you select, for example, 500 Hz for Menu No. 20, 
the Program Scan slows down to a ±500 Hz width, centering 
the frequency you marked below.
3 Press 
[M/V], then turn the MULTI/CH control to 
recall the memory channel (P0 ~ P9) for which you 
want to specify the scan slow down frequencies.
4 Turn 
the 
Tuning control to the center frequency 
point that you want the Program Scan to slow 
down.  Then, press [Q-M.IN] to mark the slow 
down frequency point.
• “ ” appears.
5 Repeat 
step 
4 to specify the center slow down 
frequency points.
•  You can specify a maximum of 5 frequency 
points for each channel.
6  If you want to clear a slow down frequency point 
that you previously stored, select the frequency 
that you stored, then press [Q-M.IN] at this 
frequency spot where “ ” appears.  
•  A confi rmation beep sounds and “ ” 
disappears.
•  To clear all slow down frequency points, press 
and hold  [Q-M.IN].
7 Press 
[M/V] to return to VFO mode.
8 Press 
[SCAN (SG.SEL)] to start the Program Scan 
with the slow down frequency point(s).
Note:
  During Program Scan, you can turn the RIT/ XIT control 
to adjust the scanning speed.  Turn the control clockwise/ 
counterclockwise to slow down/ speed up the scan.  The 
Program Scan speed indicator appears on the main display 
during Program Scan; P1 is the fastest speed and P9 is the 
slowest.
  You cannot change the Program Scan speed in FM mode.
  Although you can specify the Program Scan slow down 
frequency point in FM mode, it does not function.
  When copying a Program Memory Channel, all frequency 
points are cleared.
3 Turn 
the 
MULTI/CH control or press Mic [UP]
[DWN] to select the memory channel (VGROUP–0 
to VGROUP–9).  As you select the Memory 
Channel, “on” or “oFF” appears on the main 
frequency display.  “on” signifi es that the memory 
channel is active for the Program Scan and “oFF” 
signifi es that the memory channel group is inactive 
for the Program Scan.
4  To activate the Program Scan frequency range, 
select the desired VGROUP number by turning the 
MULTI/CH control.  Then, press [M.IN] to select 
“on” for the VGROUP (channel).  When a channel 
is activated for Program Scan, “on” appears on the 
display.
5  Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or press [CLR] 
to return to the current VFO mode.
6  Press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to start the Program 
Scan.
•  To quickly move toward a desired frequency 
while scanning, turn the Tuning control or the 
MULTI/CH control, or press Mic [UP][DWN].
• Turning 
the 
RIT/ XIT control clockwise 
decreases the scan speed and 
counterclockwise increases the speed, except 
while in FM mode.  The current scan speed is 
shown on the display; P1 is the fastest speed 
and P9 is the slowest.
•  While in FM mode, Scan automatically stops 
on a frequency where a signal is present.  The 
transceiver will either remain on that channel 
for a short time (Time-Operated mode) or until 
the signal drops out (Carrier-Operated mode), 
depending on which mode you select via Menu 
No. 26 {page 50}.
7  To stop Scan, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR].
Note:
  If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond the 
squelch threshold while in FM mode, Scan may fail to stop at 
a channel where a signal is present.  If this happens, turn the 
SQL control slightly counterclockwise.
  If you press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] before storing any frequency 
range for memory channels P0 to P9, the transceiver starts 
VFO scan.
  When the current receive frequency is within one of the 
ranges that you selected with channel numbers, Scan starts 
with the current frequency.  The operating mode stored in the 
memory channel is used.
  The operating mode can be changed while scanning, but the 
memory channel will be overwritten with the changed mode.
  When the current Scan range is smaller than a single step of 
the MULTI/CH control, turning the control clockwise causes 
Scan to jump to the start frequency, and counterclockwise to 
the end frequency.
  Starting Program Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT 
functions.
  While in FM mode, Program Scan monitors rounded off 
frequencies regardless of the Menu No. 14 setting.
