VX-6R/E OPERATING MANUAL 49
MEMORY SCANNING
Memory scanning is similarly easy to initiate:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the
[
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
]
key, if necessary.
2. Press and hold in the
[
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
]
key for one second, and rotate the
DIAL knob while holding in the
[
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
]
key to select the desired
Memory Scan mode. Available selections are ALL CH, TAG1, TAG2, BAND, and
PMS-X.
ALL CH: The scanner sweeps all Memory channels.
TAG1: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same “first” digit
of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.
TAG2: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same “first” and
“second” digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which
scanning started.
BAND: The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels which are memorized on
the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.
PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS fre-
quency pair. See page 52 for details.
Note: When an alpha-numeric “Tag” is appended to the Low sub-band limit
memory channel, the alpha-numeric “Tag” will appear while you are select-
ing the Memory Scan mode.
3. Release the
[
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
]
key to initiate scanning.
4. As with VFO scanning, the scanner will halt on any signal encountered that is strong
enough to open the squelch; it will then resume scanning according to the Scan-
Resume mode set previously. When there are no memory chan-
nels corresponding to the selected Memory Scan mode, the “MS
ERR
” notation will appear on the display.
5. To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch or the
[
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
]
key.
How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a memory channel due to temporary noise or interfer-
ence, you can mark it to be skipped by pressing the
[
F/W
]
key, followed by the
[
5
(
SKIP
)]
key while the scanner has stopped on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instan-
taneously resume, and that channel will not be scanned henceforth.
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast sta-
tion will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-
Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to
resume scanning.
Here is the procedure for skipping certain memories during scanning:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
0
(
SET
)]
key to enter the Set mode.
