Scanning Operation
The
FT
-1
OOD
contains a wide variety
of
scanning capabilities. Whether you are in the
VFO mode or one
of
the memory modes, scanning operation
is
fundamentally identical in
all configurations, but with the following differences:
o In the VFO mode, scanning causes the transceiver to sweep up or down the band,
pausing or halting on any signal encountered;
o In the QMB mode, the scanner will scan only the QMB memory bank;
o In the Memory mode, the scanner will scan the programmed memories, and can be
instructed to skip certain memories during scanning;
o In the Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) mode, the scanner will scan the band
within user-programmed frequency limits.
SCANNING OPERATION
1.
Set the SQL knob to the point where background noise
is
silenced. A typical setting,
for effective scanning operation, will be at
12
o'clock or slightly clockwise from this
position.
2.
Set the transceiver into the operating configuration
in
which you wish to scan (VFO,
Memory, QMB, etc.).
3.
Press the [FUNC] key, as needed, to recall Operating Function Row 4 [SKP, SCN,
OW, SCH], then press and hold the
[B](SCN)
key for
12
second to start upward scan
(toward higher frequencies or higher memory channel numbers).

You
may
also
press
and
hold
in either
the
[UP]
or
[OWN] key on
the
~
_ microphone
for
%
second
to initiate upward
or
downward scanning, re-
~
spectively.
4. Rotate the MAIN DIAL or the SELECT knob counterclockwise to toggle the scanning
direction
downward.
5.
The scanner will now cause the transceiver to increment
in
the chosen direction until a
signal
is
detected. When a signal is encountered which opens the Squelch, the scanner
will pause until the signal disappears (at the end
of
the other station's transmission), at
which point the scanner will resume. While the transceiver
is
in
the "Pause" condition,
the decimal points
in
the frequency display area will blink. See "Scan-Resume Choices"
on page
81
for details
of
how to customize the resumption
of
scanning.
6.
Press the PTT switch on the microphone to cancel scanning.
