Scanning 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.
FULL SCAN (p. 35) Repeatedly scans all frequen-
cies over all bands.
Some frequency ranges are
not scanned according to the

PRIORITY WATCH
Priority watch types
Priority watch checks for signals on a frequency every 5 sec.
while operating on a VFO frequency or scanning. The trans-
ceiver has 3 priority watch types to suit your needs.
The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume
condition. See the page at left for details.
NOTES:
If the pocket beep function is activated, the transceiver au-
tomatically selects the tone squelch function when priority
watch starts.
DDAbout priority beep function
When receiving a signal on the priority frequency, you can be
alerted with beeps and a blinking “S.” This function can be
activated when setting the priority watch function ON.
MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH
While 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-

MEMORY SCAN WATCH
While operating on a VFO fre-
quency, priority watch checks for
signals on each memory chan-
nel in sequence.

TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP
By monitoring a signal that is being operated with pocket
beep, tone or DTCS squelch function, you can determine the
tone frequency or DTCS code necessary to open a squelch.
qSet the frequency to be checked for a tone frequency or
code.
wTurn the desired tone type ON in set mode; “TONE” (re-
peater tone), “TSQL” (tone squelch) or “DTCS” (DTCS
squelch).
One of “T,” “TSQL” or “DTCS” appears.
Even if the pocket beep function is activated, it is cancelled when
the tone scan is started.
eWhile pushing and holding [FUNC], push [CALL]
(
MODE
SCAN
)for 1 sec. to start the tone scan.
•To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
rWhen the CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is
matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency or
code is temporarily programmed into the selected condi-
tion, such as a memory channel.
The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit
DTCS code is detected.
CONVENIENT!
Even if no tone type is selected, pushing and holding [CALL]
(
MODE
SCAN
)for 1 sec. while pushing and holding [FUNC]
also starts tone scan. In this case, the tone scan searches for
repeater tone frequency only.
NOTE: The decoded tone frequency or code is pro-
grammed temporarily when a memory channel is se-
lected. However, this will be cleared when the memory
channel is re-selected.

DDDial select step
Select the tuning step while pushing and

DDOffset frequency
Sets the offset frequency for duplex (re-
peater) operation for each frequency band in-
dependently within 0 to 159.995 MHz range.
During duplex operation (–DUP or +DUP),
the offset frequency shifts the transmit fre-
quency (or while [SQL] (
ATT
SET
)is pushed).
The default value may differ according to the selected fre-
quency band (before accessing set mode)and transceiver ver-
sion.
The selected tuning step in VFO mode is used for setting
the offset frequency.
DDTone selection
Sets the tone encoder, tone squelch or DTCS
squelch operation and pocket beep capabil-
ity, when waiting for the desired signal.
OFF : Regular noise squelch operation. (default)
•TONE : Using tone encoder. Some repeaters require
subaudible tones to be accessed.
TSQL : Using tone squelch. The squelch opens only
when a signal with matched subaudible tone is
received.
•PBEEP : In addition to the “TSQL” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched tone is
received.
DTCS : Using DTCS squelch. The squelch opens only
when a signal with matched DTCS code is re-
ceived.
•PDTCS : In addition to the “DTCS” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched DTCS
code is received.
The subaudible tone frequency and DTCS code are pro-
grammed as the tone frequency and DTCS code items, re-
spectively.

form the following procedure.
Partial resetting is also available. See left for details.

the following points before sending it to a service center.
No power comes on.
No sound comes from the
speaker.
Sensitivity is low and only
strong signals are audible.
Frequency cannot be set.
No beep sound.
Receive audio is distorted.
Transmitting is impossible.
No contact possible with
another station.
Repeater cannot be ac-
cessed.
The batteries are exhausted.
The battery polarity is reversed.
•Volume level is too low.
Squelch level is set too tight.
Different tone is selected with tone/DTCS
squelch.
Attenuator function is activated.
The lock function is activated.
Beep tones are turned OFF or the beep tone level
is too low.
The operating mode is not selected correctly.
The battery pack is exhausted.
A frequency outside of the 144/440 MHz amateur
bands is set
The other station is using tone squelch.
• The transceiver is set to duplex
•Wrong offset frequency is programmed.
Priority watch is paused on the watching fre-
quency
Charge the battery pack.
Check the battery polarity.
Push [YY]to obtain a suitable level.
While pushing and holding [SQL], rotate [DIAL] to
set the squelch level.
•Turn the appropriate function OFF.
While pushing and holding [FUNC], push [SQL]
momentarily to turn the attenuator function OFF.
While pushing and holding [FUNC], push and hold
[BAND] for 1 sec. to turn the function OFF.
•Turn beep tone ON or set the beep tone level to ap-
propriate level in set mode.
While pushing and holding [FUNC], push [CALL]
several times to select a suitable operating mode.
Charge the battery pack.
• Set the frequency within the 144/440 MHz amateur
bands.
•Turn the tone squelch function ON.
• Set to simplex.
Correct the offset frequency.
• Correct the subaudible tone frequency
