This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation.
For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to 148.000
MHz so as 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
(
DW
)
MT
]
key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above concept) 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
[
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
]
key for one sec-
ond, and (while holding the
[
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
]
key in) ro-
tate the DIAL knob to select the desired PMS frequency pair
(PMSxx), then release the
[
BAND
(

)
BND DN
]
key.
5. Releasing the
[
BAND
(
SCN
)
BND DN
]
key to initiates the Pro-
grammable (Band Limit) Memory Scan; the Memory Channel
number will be replaced by “Pxx.” Scanning and tuning will now be limited within the
just-programmed range.
6. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L50/U50 are available.
You therefore can set upper and lower operation limits in multiple segments on a
number of bands, if you like.
7. To exit from PMS operation, press the
[
V/M
(
DW
)
MT
]
key.
Please be sure only to store limit frequencies which are on the same band and
set to the same frequency steps in both the upper and lower frequency limit
memories.
