scannIng operatIon
The
FTA-230
allows you to scan automatically in the
VFO
1
, Main Memory, “Book” Memory, or Weather
Channel
2
modes. It pauses on signals encountered, so
you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you
like.
1: In the VFO mode, the automatic scanner is only
available in the COM band (118.000 - 136.975
MHz); when the scanner reaches the uppermost
frequency in the COM band, it will revert to the bot-
tom end of the COM band and repeat the scanning
process until you cancel the scanning process.
2: USA version only.
If you wish to scan in the NAV band (108.000 - 117.975
MHz), you can do so manually, as described below.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the
above modes.
Press and hold in the
[
(
SET
)]
key for 2
seco nds to sta rt the
automatic scanner up-
ward (toward a higher
frequency or a higher
channel number).
When the scanner encounters a signal, the scanner
will halt on that channel and will hold there for ve
seconds, after which scanning will resume.
While the scanner remains paused on a frequency,
the decimal point of the frequency displays blinks.
The display will be illuminated unless the Scan
Lamp Feature is turned off.
