Note:
uWhen the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver
stops at a busy frequency and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS
code.  If the tone or code matches, the transceiver unmutes.
Otherwise, it resumes scanning.
uPress and hold [MONI/SQL] to pause scan in order to monitor
the scanning frequency.  Release [MONI/SQL] to resume
scanning.
uWhile the transceiver is in VOX Mode or transmitting, it causes
scan to stop (excluding Priority Scan).

3Press [VFO] (1 s) to start Band Scan.
4To stop Band Scan, press [VFO] or [PTT].
Note:
uWhile scanning, you can change the scan frequency direction by
turning the Tuning control.
uThe transceiver scans the frequency range that is stored in Menu
No. 7 (P.VFO) {page 93}.
uIf you select a frequency within the L0/U0 ~ L2/U2 range in step 3,
Program Scan {page 61} starts.

PRIORITY SCAN
You may sometimes want to check your favorite
frequency activities while monitoring other frequencies.
In this case, use the Priority Scan function.  Priority
Scan checks the activities of the Priority Channel every
3 seconds.  If the transceiver detects a signal on the
Priority Channel, it recalls the frequency.
Note:  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.
