SCAN
(PMS)
OPERATION
To
limit scanning (or tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Program-
mable Memory Scanning
(PMS) feature, which utilizes twenty special-purpose memories
("PGM
001"
~
"PGM
020").
The PMS feature is especially useful
in
helping you to
observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.
PMS setup
is
simple to complete. First, store the upper and lower frequency limits
ofthe
range
in
a consecutive pair
of
PMS memories (i.e., "PGM
001"
& "PGM
002",
"PGM
003"
& "PGM
004",
etc.). For example, "PGM
003"
might contain the lower edge and
"PGM
004"
the upper. Next recall the first memory
of
the pair that hold the range you
want to scan or tune, then turn the
MAIN
DIAL
knob or pressing the
SELECT
knob
momentarily to activate memory tuning (the
"MT"
icon will appear on the display). Tuning
and scanning are now within the limits
of
the selected PMS memory pair, keeping opera-
tion inside this programmed range.
Example: Limit tuning & scanning to the 17-m band
I. Press the [VFO/MR] key,
as
necessary, to recall the VFO mode. Tune to the low edge
of
the 17-m band (18.068 MHz) and select the desired mode (probably USB or CW).
2.
Press the [FUNC] key,
as
necessary, to recall Operating Function Row 2 [V>M,
M>V,
RPT, REV].
3. Press the [A](V>M) key momentarily, then tum the
SELECT
knob to select memory
channel
"PGM
001."
4.
Press and hold
in
the [A](V>M) key for
Y:z
second to write the VFO frequency (18.068
MHz) into "PGM
001."
5.
Tune to the high edge
of
the 17-m band (18.168 MHz), leaving the mode unchanged.
6.
Press the [A](V>M) key momentarily, then tum the SELECT knob to select the memory
channel
"PGM
002."
7.
Press and hold
in
the [A](V>M) key for
Y:z
second to write the VFO frequency (18.168
MHz) into
"PGM
002."
8.
Recall memory channel "PGM 001
",
and
tum
the MAIN
DIAL
knob clockwise or
pressing the
SELECT knob momentarily to activate memory tuning.
9.
Tuning and scanning are now limited to the 18.068
~
18.168-MHz range until you
press the
[VFO/MR] key to return
to
memory or VFO operation.
