User manual KENWOOD TH-235A

[. . . ] This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. [. . . ] Checks the activities on the Priority channel (Pr) every 3 seconds. Priority Scan 59 Note: x x x x x x When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver stops at a busy frequency and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS code. Press and hold [MONI/SQL] to pause scan in order to monitor the scanning frequency. While the transceiver is in VOX Mode or transmitting, it causes scan to stop (excluding Priority Scan). Starting scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check (ASC) {page 38}. If you press any key other than the following keys during scan, the transceiver exits scan (excluding Priority Scan). Priority Scan stops while "Pr" is blinking: [F], [F] (1 s), [LAMP], [MONI/SQL], Tuning control, and [F] then [MONI/SQL]. NORMAL SCAN When you are operating the transceiver in VFO Mode, 2 types of scanning are available: Band Scan and Program Scan. Band 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 2 m band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range in the specifications {page 122}. ) When the current VFO receive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency range {page 59}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency range available for the current VFO. 2 Turn the Tuning control to select the frequency outside of the Program Scan frequency range. 60 3 Press [VFO] (1 s) to start Band Scan. 4 To stop Band Scan, press [VFO] or [PTT]. Note: x x x x While scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by turning the Tuning control. If you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L2/U2 range in step 3, Program Scan {page 61} starts. 3 Press [MENU] to store the setting. · "PRI" appears. 4 Press any key other than [PTT], [LAMP], and [MONI/SQL] to exit Menu Mode. · · The transceiver checks for a signal on the Priority Channel every 3 seconds. When the transceiver detects a signal on the Priority Channel, "Pr" blinks and the frequency changes to the Priority Channel. If you do not operate any control or key for 3 seconds after the signal drops, the transceiver returns to the original frequency and resumes Priority Scan. You can also press any key other than [PTT], [F], [LAMP], [MONI/SQL], [F] then [MONI/SQL] and [F] (1 s) to exit Priority Scan while "Pr" is blinking. If a signal is received on a Priority Channel with a CTCSS or DCS code programmed, the Priority Channel is recalled only when the programmed tone/ code matches. Press and hold [MONI/SQL] to pause Priority Scan when the transceiver is not displaying the Priority Channel. If you press any key other than the following keys while "Pr" is blinking, the transceiver exits Priority Scan: [LAMP], [MONI/SQL], [F] (1 s), [F] then [MONI/SQL] (Squelch adjustment) and [PTT]. · 5 To quit Priority Scan, select "OFF" in step 2. · Note: x x x x 66 MEMORY CHANNEL LOCKOUT You can lock out memory channels that you prefer not to monitor during All-Channel Memory Scan {page 63}. 2 Turn the Tuning control to select the memory channel to be locked out. 5 Press [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to select "ON". Memory channel number 6 Press [MENU] to store the setting. 7 Press any key other than [LAMP] and [MONI/SQL] to exit the Menu Mode. · A " " icon appears below the memory channel number, indicating the channel is locked out. 8 To unlock the memory channel, repeat steps 1 ~ 7, selecting "OFF" in step 5. · Note: x x The " " icon disappears. The Program Scan memories (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2), Priority Channel (Pr) and Weather Radio frequency (AL) cannot be locked out. Even if a memory channel is locked out, you can perform Call Scan {page 64} between the Call Channel and the memory channel. 67 SCAN RESUME METHOD The transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (or memory channel) where a signal is detected. It then continues or stops scanning according to which Resume Mode you have selected.
