Vertex Standard FT-857 Manual Do Utilizador

The Smart Search™ feature automatically stores frequencies where activity is encountered
on the current band. When Smart Search™ is engaged, the transceiver quickly searches
above your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (without stopping on
them even momentarily). These frequencies are stored in a special Smart Search™ memory
bank, consisting of 50 memories. This feature is available on the FM and AM modes.

The Smart Search™ feature is especially helpful when traveling, as you can instantly store
active FM repeater frequencies without having to look up the frequencies in a reference
book.

1. Set the SQL knob to the point where background noise is silenced. A typical setting, for

effective Smart Search™ operation, will be at 12 o’clock or slightly clockwise from this
position.

2. Set the VFO to the frequency on which you wish to begin the search (the Smart Search

™

feature is available on the VFO mode only).

3. Press the [FUNC] key momentarily, then rotate the SELECT knob, as needed, until

Multi Function Row “f” [ARTS, SRCH, PMS] appears on the display.

4. Now press the [B](SRCH) key momentarily; the blinking “SRCH” indicator will appear

on the LCD, and the transceiver will sweep upward on the current band, loading chan-
nels on which it encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch. All channels
where activity is present (up to 50 channels) will be loaded into the Smart Search

™

memories.

5. Now you can turn the SELECT knob to select from the just-stored Smart Search

™

 memo-

ries. If you find frequencies you wish to store into a “regular” memory, just follow the
procedures described previously; just don’t press the [B](SRCH) key while storing these
memories, because this will disable Smart Search™ operation.

6. To disable Smart Search™ operation, press the [B](SRCH) key momentarily.
