38 7 SCAN OPERATION ■Auto-memory write scanThis scan is useful for searching a specified frequency range and automatically storing busy frequencies into memory channels. The auto-memory write scan is performed with any VFO scan types (ALL, BAND, PROG). qSelect VFO mode with [VFO MHz]. wPush and hold [MODE SCAN]to enter scanning type se- lection condition. eRotate [R-DIAL]to select the desired scanning type. •“ALL” for full scan; “BAND” for band scan, “PROG-xx” for pro- grammed scan (xx= 0 to 24; programmed scan edges numbers only displayed) rRelease [MODE SCAN]to start the scan. tPush [MR S.MW]to turn the automatic memory write func- tion ON and OFF. •“µ µ ” indicator blinks. yPush [DUALWATCH]to stop the scan.D D During auto-memory write scanning: •When a signal is received, scan pauses and the frequency is stored into auto-memory write channel group (å å 000 – å å 199). -2 short beeps sound when stored.•Scan resumes after frequency storing. •When all channels are stored, the scan is cancelled auto- matically and 1 long beep sounds. D D Recalling the stored frequencies: qPush [MR S.MW]several times to select the auto-memory write channel group. wRotate [R-DIAL]to select the desired channel. D D Clearing the stored frequencies: qSelect the auto-memory write channel group. wPush [5 SKIP]for 1 sec. to clear the all channels contents.•1 short and 1 long beeps sound.NOTE:The auto-memory write channel contents CANNOT be cleared by an independent channel. Thus it is a good idea to copy the contents into regular memory channel. √ å MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 439875 PSKIP -DUP 001 “ å ” appears when auto memory write channel group is selected. √ µ MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 148800 PSKIP -DUP 001 • During auto memory write scan “ ” indicator blinks during auto memory write scan.

39 7 SCAN OPERATION Memory channels can be set to be skipped for memory skip scan. In addition, memory channels can be set to be skipped for both memory skip scan and frequency skip scan. These are useful to speed up the scan interval. qSelect a memory channel: ➥Push [MR S.MW]to select memory mode. ➥Rotate [R-DIAL]to select the desired channel to be a skip channel/frequency. wPush [MR S.MW]for 1 sec. to enter the select memory write condition. ePush [8 SET]several times to select “SKIP.” •While pushing [8 SET], rotating [R-DIAL]can also select “SKIP.” rRotate [R-DIAL]to select the skip condition from “SKIP,” “PSKIP” or “OFF” for the selected channel. •PSKIP : The channel is skipped during memory/bank scan and the programmed frequency is skipped during VFO scan, such as programmed scan. •SKIP : The channel is skipped during memory or bank scan. •OFF : The channel or programmed frequency is scanned dur- ing any scan. tPush [MR S.MW]for 1 sec. to store the skip condition into the memory. •“SKIP” or “PSKIP” indicator appears, according to the skip se- lection in the step r. ✔CONVENIENT! Also the skip setting can be set with the following operation for easy setting. qSelect the desired memory channel to be set as a skip channel/frequency. wWhile pushing [5 SKIP], rotate [R-DIAL]to select the skipcondition from “PSKIP,” “SKIP” and “OFF (no indication) .” ATT B:GROUP1√ µ MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 145700 PSKIP -DUP 003 ATT B:GROUP1√ µ MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 145700 PSKIP -DUP 033 • Skip channel setting • Program skip setting “SKIP” appears “PSKIP” appears FM>CLEAR -SKIP-:OFF -MNAME: -BNAME: >CLEAR >SKIP-:OFF -MNAME: -BANK-:----012 µ . 146 .010 is pushed several times.

42 8 PRIORITY WATCH ■Priority watch typesPriority watch checks for signals on the frequency every 5sec. while operating on a VFO frequency or scanning. The receiver has 3 priority watch types to suit your needs. The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume condition. See the left page for details. NOTE: If the pocket beep function is activated, the receiver automatically selects the tone squelch function when pri- ority watch starts.D D About priority beep functionWhen receiving a signal on the priority frequency, you can be alerted with beeps and a blink “S.” This function can be activated when setting the priority watch function ON.

45 COMFORTABLE RECEIVING 9■Tone/DTCS squelch operationThe tone or DTCS squelch opens only when receiving a sig- nal with the same pre-programmed subaudible tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for the specified sig- nal using the same tone. qSet the desired frequency in FM mode. wWhile pushing [7 TONE], rotate [R-DIAL]to select the de- sired squelch condition from “TSQL,” “TSQLS,” “DTCS,” “DTCSS,” “VSC” and “OFF.”•One of “TSQL,” “ TSQLS,” “DTCS,” “DTCSS” and “VSC” appears according to the squelch selection. eWhen a signal with the matched tone is received, the squelch opens and the receiver emits audio. When pocket beep function is activated, the receiver also emits beep tones and blinks “S”.•Beep tones sound and “S” blinks for 30 sec.rPush [DUALWATCH]to stop the beeps and blinking man- ually.•“S” disappears and the pocket beep function is deactivated.tTo cancel the tone squelch or DTCS, rotate [R-DIAL]while pushing [7 TONE]to tone indication disappears. NOTE:The VSC (Voice Squelch Control) function opens the squelch only when receiving a modulated signal. This function is very useful while scanning, the VSC pauses only when modulated signals are received. Scanning con- tinues when unmodulated or beat signals are received.
