When you are operating the transceiver in VFO Mode,
3 types of scanning are available:  Band Scan, Program
Scan, and MHz Scan.

The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency
you selected.  For example, if you are operating and
receiving at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the frequencies
available for the VHF band.  (Refer to receiver VFO
frequency range in the specifications {page 72}.)  When
the current VFO receive frequency is outside the Program
Scan frequency range {below}, the transceiver scans the
entire frequency range available for the current VFO.

1 Press [VFO] and turn the Tuning control or press Mic

[UP]/[DWN] to select a frequency outside of the
Program Scan frequency range.

2 Press [VFO] (1s) to start Band Scan.

• Scan starts from the current frequency.

• The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress.

3 Press any key other than [F] or [   ] (Power) to stop

Band Scan.

◆

The transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in Menu

No. 7 (P.VFO) {page 61}.

◆

If you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L2/U2 range in step 2,

Program Scan starts.

You can limit the scanning frequency range.  There are
3 memory channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2) available for
specifying the start and end frequencies.  Program Scan
monitors the range between the start and end
frequencies that you have stored in these Memory
Channels.  Before performing Program Scan, store the
Program Scan frequency range to one of the Memory
Channel pairs (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2).
