This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO opera-
tion. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz, to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the
band below 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the
[
V/M
]
key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier in the above procedures, store 144.300 MHz into
Memory Channel #L1 (the “L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the “U” designates the
Upper sub-band limit).
4. Press and hold in the SCAN switch for one second until the
PMS bandwidth for the VFO scanner appears on the screen.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired PMS frequency pair
(PMSxx).
6. Press the SCAN switch briefly to initiate the Programmable
(Band Limit) Memory Scan. The “ ” icon will be replaced
with the “ ” icon, and the PMS frequency pair number
(“Pxx”) will appear in the display. Tuning and scanning will now
be limited within the just-programmed range.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
7. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L50/U50 are available. You
therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.
8. To cancel PMS scanning, press the
[

key.
