VR-5000 OPERATING MANUAL30
Scanning
The VR-5000 allows you to scan just memory channels, the entire operating band, or a
portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can listen to the station(s)
on that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. There are customized
settings for each scanning mode, however, that you need to set up according to your oper-
ating preferences. Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you would
like the scanner to (A) stop scanning when it halts on a signal and (B) resume scanning
after it halts on a signal.
Setting the Scan-Stop Technique
During Memory Channel Scanning, three options for the Scan-Stop mode are available:
NORMAL: In this mode, the scanner will stop on a signal it encounters (default).
S-METER: In this mode, the scanner will stop on a signal exceeding a prescribed S-meter
level (at which the squelch opens).
VOICE: In this mode, the scanner will stop on a signal which contains a voice signal.
Here is the procedure for setting up the Scan-Stop mode:
