When ProgramScan is set to OFF for all thememory channels for specific bandsegments, Program Scan switchesautomatically to VFO Scan.However, when VFO Scan isselected, VFO Scan is performedeven when not all channels are setto OFF.Scan UsingMemoryChannelsAll-ChannelScan Scans all Memory channels from 00to 99, P0 to P9, and E0 to E9.Group Scan Scans the grouped memorychannels.Quick MemoryScan Scans the Quick Memory channels.Program ScanProgram Scan performs scan between the range specified by thestart and end frequencies which are registered in the each ofmemory channels for specific band segments (P0 to P9).•Configure the frequency range for Program Scan in the memorychannels for specific band segments (P0 to P9). Up to 10frequency ranges that are transmitted by specific stations canbe preconfigured. Enabling standby in a nearby frequencymakes it easy to perform tuning to a specific station when thestation starts communication in the preconfigured frequencyrange.●Program Scan performs scan between the start and endfrequencies of a memory channel for specific bandsegments and moves to the next channel after scanningof the specified frequency range has ended.●While scanning is in progress, turning the Tuning or[MULTI/CH] control allows the frequency to be changedquickly. The same operation can also be used to changethe scanning direction.●Scanning is performed in the ascending order from lowto high frequency. Configuring the end frequency to avalue smaller than the start frequency by turning theTuning or [MULTI/CH] control reverses the scanningdirection (high to low frequency).●Scanning is performed based on the step frequency ofthe Tuning control when in the SSB, CW, FSK and PSKmodes, while it is based on the step frequency of the[MULTI/CH] control when in the FM mode, and fixed at100 Hz in the AM mode.●Scanning stops when signals are received whileperforming Program Scan (VFO Scan) in the FM modeor during Memory Scan (All-channel Scan or GroupScan) or Quick Memory Scan regardless of the operatingmode. For more information on the conditions to resumescanning, please refer to “Configuring the Conditions forResuming Scan”.●During standby for the CTCSS tone in the FM mode,scan stops only when there is a matching CTCSS tone.●When the [SQL] control is turned to the right to a levelthat far exceeds the squelch threshold while in the FMmode, scanning may not stop even at a channel wherea signal is present. Configure the squelch level to a pointthat is near the squelch threshold.Starting the Program Scan (VFO Scan)1Press [M/V] to switch to VFO mode.2Press F5 [SCAN] to start program scan (VFO scan).•Pressing F5 [SCAN] again or [ESC] ends the Program Scan(VFO Scan)..Configuring the Program Scan (VFO Scan)Frequency RangeScanning can be configured to the frequency range specified inthe memory channels for specific band segments (Program Scan)or the entire RX frequency band (VFO Scan).To perform Program Scan, register the memory channels forspecific band segments.1Press [M/V] to switch to VFO mode.2Press and hold F5 [SCAN] to display the ProgramScan segment screen..3Press F2 [ ]/ F3 [ ] to select a memorychannel for specific band segments.4Press F4 [ ] to select whether to scan thememory channel for specific band segments.•Pressing F4 [ ] each time selects (performs scan) ordeselects (does not perform scan) the checkbox.•When performing VFO Scan, deselect the checkboxes forall the memory channels for specific band segments or press[VFO/PRG] to switch the display to “VFO SCAN”.•Pressing F6 [SEL.ALL] selects the checkboxes for all thememory channels for specific band segments.•Pressing F7 [CLR.ALL] deselects the checkboxes for all thememory channels for specific band segments.SCAN  1010 SCAN10-1
