    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.

    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.

    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.
    MEMORY CHANNEL WATCHWhile operating on a VFO fre-
    quency, priority watch checks for
    a signal on the selected memory
    channel every 5 sec.•Amemory channel with skip infor-
    mation can be watched.MEMORY SCAN WATCHWhile operating on a VFO fre-

    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.
