SCRATCH PAD MEMORY8
36
What is a scratch pad
memory?
During VFO operation, the transceiver automatically memo-
rizes operating frequency information, separate from regular
memory channels, when transmitting on a new frequency.
The 5 previously operated frequencies for each band can be
recalled (L1 to L5 appear for simplex frequencies; r1 to r5 ap-
pear for duplex frequencies.
NOTE:When memory mode is selected, the frequency is
not programmed into a scratch pad.

➀Push [BAND] to select a band, if necessary.
➁Select a call channel by pushing [M/CALL] once or twice.
•A large “C” appears.
➂Rotate the tuning dial to select the desired scratch pad
memory.
•One of “L1”–“L5” appears.
➃Push [(S.MW)MW] momentarily.
• “” flashes to indicate VFO as the transferring channel.
➄Rotate the tuning dial to select the desired memory chan-
nel if required.

SCAN OPERATION9
38
FULL SCAN
Repeatedly scans all fre-
quencies over the entire 
band. Used as the simplest 
scan without any prelimi-
nary settings necessary.PROGRAMMED SCANRepeatedly scans between 
two user-programmed fre-
quencies. Used for check-
ing for frequencies within 
a specified range such as 
repeater output frequen-
cies, etc. 5 pairs of scan 
edges are available.
SCAN RESUME CONDITION5 resume conditions are 
available: 3 timer scans, 
pause scan and empty 
scan. When receiving a 
signal,...

•Common setting: scan resume condition. (p. 43)
•For programmed scan: program the scan edges. (p. 40)
•For memory scan: program 2 or more memory chan-
nels; set memory skip settings, if de-
sired. (p. 42)
DOperation
➀Push [BAND] to select a band, if necessary.
➁Select VFO mode for full/programmed scan with the
[V/MHz] switch; or memory mode for memory scan with the
[M/CALL] switch.
➂Set the squelch to the point where noise is muted.
➃Push  for 1 sec. to...

Programming scan edges
Scan edges can be programmed in the same manner as
memory channels. Scan edges are programmed into pairs of
scan edge channels, 1A/1b to 5A/5b, in memory channels.
➀Push [BAND] to select a band, if necessary.
➁Set the desired frequency in VFO mode:
➥Push [V/MHz] to select VFO mode.
➥Set the frequency using the tuning dial.
➥Set other data (e.g. offset frequency, etc.) if required.
➂Push [S.MW] momentarily.

➥Push [VFO] to select VFO mode.
➥Set the frequency using the keypad.
ÇPush [FUNC] then [EMW] momentarily.
ÉPush [Y] or [Z] to select scan edge channels.
ÑPush [FUNC] then [EMW] for 1 sec. to pro-
gram.

Skip channel setting
The memory skip function speeds up scanning by checking
only desired memory channels. Set the memory channels to
be skipped or scanned as follows.
➀Push [BAND] to select the a band, if necessary.
➁Select the memory channel to program or to cancel the
skip function on:
➥Select memory mode by pushing [M/CALL] once or twice.
➥Rotate the tuning dial to select the memory channel.
➂Push [SET] one or more times until “CHS” appears as
shown above.
•Pushing [MONI] reverses...

Scan resume
condition
The scan resume condition can be selected as timer, pause
or empty pause scan. The empty pause scan is useful for
finding unused frequencies. The selected resume condition
is also used for priority watch. (p. 44)
➀Push [BAND] to select a band, if necessary.
➁Push [SET] one or more times until “SCt” or “SCP” appears
as shown above.
•Pushing [MONI] reverses the order of selection.
•Cancel the DTMF memory encoder in advance. (p. 48)
➂Rotate the tuning dial to set the...

PRIORITY WATCH10

Priority watch types
Priority watch checks for signals on a memory or call chan-
nel every 5 sec. while operating on a VFO frequency. The
transceiver has 3 priority watch types to suit your needs. You
can transmit on the VFO frequency while the priority watch
operates.
The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume
condition. See previous page for details.
NOTE:
•Priority watch cannot be started from a scratch pad
memory.
•The DTMF memory encoder is turned OFF when priority...
