HOW TO SKIP
(

A CHANNEL DURING MEMORY SCAN
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. Such channels may be “Skipped” during scanning, if you like:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press and hold the key for one second to enter the Set
Mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item

Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The “

selection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan”, described
in the next column.
6. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
When you recall the “skipped” memory channel manually, a
small “W” icon will appear at the left of the frequency display,
indicating it is to be ignored during scanning.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “OFF”
in step 5 above (the “Skipped” channel will, of course, still be accessible via manual
channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode,
whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
