[Y]/[Z] BAND c Push [FUNC], and then push and hold [CLR A(MW)] for 1 sec. to transfer the contents. INFORMATION When the VFO mode is selected from the call channel, a small "c" appears instead of memory channel number. 40 6 CALL CHANNEL OPERATION Programming a call channel Operating frequency, duplex information, subaudible tone information (tone encoder or tone squelch ON/OFF and its frequency) can be programmed into the call channel. e Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired call channel. · "!" indicator and "C1" or "C2" blink. to program. · 3 beeps sound and the unit returns to VFO mode automatically. r Push and hold [S. MW·MW] for 1 sec. to program. · 3 beeps sound and the unit returns to VFO mode automatically. [EXAMPLE]: Programming 145. 120 MHz into the call channel 2 via the microphone. Push to select VFO mode. Push , then . Push until "C2" appears. Push , then push for 1 sec.

BAND SCAN (p. 43) Band edge Scan Band edge Repeatedly scans all frequencies over the entire band. Used as the simplest scan without any preliminary settings necessary. PROGRAMMED SCAN (p. 43) Start 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A End 1B 2B 3B 4B Band 5B edge Band edge Scan edges Jump Scan Jump Repeatedly scans between two user-programmed frequencies. Used for checking for frequencies within a specified range such as repeater output frequencies, etc. 5 pairs of scan edges are available and scans 1A­1B (P1), 2A­2B (P2), 3A­3B (P3), 4A­4B (P4), 5A­5B (P5). When receiving a signal, pause scan pauses until the signal disappears; timer scans pause for 5, 10 or 15 sec. 6 7 MEMORY SCAN (p. 43) SKIP M2 M1 M 500 M7 M6 M3 M4 M5 SKIP Repeatedly scans memory channels except those set as skip channels. Used for oftencalled channels and for bypassing normally busy channels such as repeater frequencies. SCAN RESUME CONDITION (p. Timer scan Pausing 42 7 SCAN OPERATION Scan start/stop D Preparation Scan resume condition (p. 47), if desired. D Operation q Select VFO mode for full/programmed scan with [V/MHz·SCAN]; or memory mode for memory scan with [M/CALL·PRIO]. · Select the desired bank for bank scan. w Set the squelch to the point where noise is just muted. to start the scan. · To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
