Copying memory contents
This function transfers a memory channel’s contents to VFO
(or another memory channel). This is useful when searching
for signals around a memory channel frequency and for re-
calling the offset frequency, subaudible tone frequency etc.DMemory➪VFOqSelect the memory channel to be copied.

cleared or reassigned to another memory bank.
INFORMATION:Even if the memory bank contents are
cleared, the memory channel contents still remain pro-
grammed.

■Scan typesScanning searches for signals automatically and makes it
easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes.There are 7 scan types and 4 resume conditions to suit your
operating needs. The scan speed is at 100 ch/sec. (approx.)
for VFO scan, 20 ch/sec. (approx) for memory scan.FULL SCAN 
(p. 35)Repeatedly scans all frequen-
cies over the entire band. 
Some frequency ranges are
not scanned according to the
frequency coverage of the re-
ceiver’s version.
