Examples on the configuration of Program Scan and
●
VFO Scan:
• Configure the memory channels for specific band
segments such that the checkboxes for P1, P3 and
P5 are selected. Next, press F5 [SCAN]. Program
Scan starts and scanning is performed in the
frequency range registered for the respective
channels.
• Configure the memory channels for specific band
segments such that all the checkboxes are
deselected and press F [SCAN]. Or press [VFO/
PRG] to switch the display to "VFO SCAN". VFO Scan
is performed on the entire RX frequency band.
• The checkbox will remain deselected for memory
channels that do not contain any operating data.
These checkboxes cannot be selected.
• For more details on registering memory channels for
specific band segments, please refer to

Switching the Scan Speed

The time interval for switching the Program Scan (VFO Scan)
frequency can be configured in modes other than FM.

Program Slow Scan

Program Slow Scan is a function that extends the frequency
switching interval (performs scan more slowly) using the
preconfigured frequency for performing Program Scan (frequency
point) and the frequencies before and after this point (segment).
Switching slowly between the specified frequency (frequency
point) and the corresponding segment allows the communication
status to be checked in detail.
• To perform Program Slow Scan, register a frequency range to
a memory channel for specific band segments in advance.

Turning ON/OFF Program Slow Scan

To combine the use of Program Slow Scan while Program Scan is
running, set Program Slow Scan to ON in advance.
• When scanned frequency falls in the segment for Program Slow
Scan during Program Scan, "SCAN-SLOW" is displayed on the
screen and the speed of frequency switching slows down.

Configuring the Frequency Points for Program Slow
Scan

interval during Program Slow Scan can be configured as follows.
• Up to 5 frequency points can be configured for each memory
channel assigned to specific band segments (P0 to P9).
• To configure the frequency points, register a band segment to
a memory channel for specific band segments in advance.
