This function stops Program Scan for approximately 
5 seconds, then resumes Scan when you jump to the 
desired frequency by turning the Tuning control or the 
MULTI/CH control, or by pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN].

To use this function, access Menu No. 25, and select 
“on”.  The default is OFF.

Memory Scan monitors all memory channels in which 
you have stored frequencies (All-channel Scan) or only 
a desired group of memory channels (Group Scan).

Scan automatically stops at a channel where a signal 
is present, regardless of the operating mode.  The 
transceiver will either remain on that channel for a 
short time (Time-Operated mode) or until the signal 
drops out (Carrier-Operated mode).  Use Menu No. 
26 to select the mode.  The default is “to” (Time-
Operated).

The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency 
(or memory channel) where a signal is detected.  It 
then continues scanning according to which resume 
mode you have selected.  You can choose one of the 
following modes.  The default is Time-Operated mode.

 

The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (or 
memory channel) for approximately 6 seconds, 
then continues to scan, even if the signal is still 
present.

 

The transceiver remains on the busy frequency (or 
memory channel) until the signal drops out.  There 
is a 2 second delay between signal dropout and 
scan resumption.

1  Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or 

turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 26.

2 Press 

[M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select “to” 

(Time-Operated) or “co” (Carrier-Operated).

3  Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

You can lock out the memory channels that you prefer 
not to monitor while scanning (refer to “Memory 
Channel Lockout”).

Use the following procedure to scan all the memory 
channels that contain frequency data in sequence, 
ignoring the Memory Group number.

1  Select Time-Operated or Carrier-Operated mode 

via Menu No. 26.

2 Press 

[M/V] to enter Memory Recall mode.

3 Turn 

the 

SQL control to adjust the squelch 

threshold to mute the speaker.

4  Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to enter Scan 

Group Select mode.

• Turn 

the 

MULTI/CH control to select the 

Memory channel group.

•  MGROUP–0 represents Memory channels 

0 ~ 9, MGROUP–1 represents Memory 
channels 10 ~ 19 and so on up to MGROUP–9 
which represents Memory channels 90 ~ 
99, MGROUP–P which represents Memory 
channels P0 ~ P9 and MGROUP–E which 
represents Memory channels E0 ~ E9. 

5  As you select the Memory Groups using the 

MULTI/CH control, press [M.IN] to select “on” for 
all Memory Groups.

6  Press and hold [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to return to 

Memory Recall mode.

7 Press 

[SCAN (SG.SEL)] to start All-channel Scan.

•  Scan starts from the current memory channel 

and ascends up through the channel numbers. 
(The scan direction cannot be changed.)

•  To jump to a desired channel while scanning, 

turn the MULTI/CH control, or press Mic [UP]/ 
[DWN].

8  To stop Scan, press [SCAN (SG.SEL)] or [CLR].

◆

  If you have turned the SQL control clockwise, far beyond the 

squelch threshold, Scan may fail to stop at a channel where 
a signal is present.  If this happens, turn the SQL control 
slightly counterclockwise.

◆

  Starting Memory Scan switches OFF the RIT and XIT 

functions.
