■

Use the Band Scope function to visually search for a specified frequency range around 

the displayed frequency. You can use this function to search for a signal, and see the 

relative received signal strength level.

The Band Scope function has 2 sweep types.

 •Single Sweep: 

 Searches the specified frequency range only once. The Single 

Sweep starts from the lower frequency and the sweep stops after 

reaching to the upper frequency.

 •Continuous Sweep:   Repeatedly searches the specified frequency range.

The receiver’s sweep bandwidth is ± 15 × the tuning step number, centered on the 

displayed frequency.

 

L

The ± 15 times is a fixed value.

The displayed frequency is 146.000 MHz and the tuning step is set to 5 kHz. Therefore, 

the sweep range is between 145.925 MHz (lower edge frequency) and 146.075 MHz 

(higher edge frequency).

See the calculation below.

Lower edge frequency  = –15 × 5 kHz

     

= –75 kHz (–0.075 MHz)

Higher edge frequency  = +15 × 5 kHz

     

= +75 kHz (+0.075 MHz)

 •The displayed (center) frequency is 146.000 MHz

 •The lower (start) frequency is 145.925 MHz 

(= 146.000 MHz – 0.075 MHz)

 •The higher (stop) frequency is 146.075 MHz 

(= 146.000 MHz + 0.075 MHz)

Example:  A strong signal is received on 146.025 MHz.
