Only the channels that have a blinking " " icon appended to the channel number will be scanned. MEMORY BANK SCAN When the Memory Bank feature is engaged, the scanner sweeps only memory channels in the current Memory Bank. However, if the Memory Bank Link Scan feature is enabled, you may sweep the memory channels in several Memory Banks which you have selected. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary. The " " icon and Memory Bank number will appear on the display. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first Memory Bank ("BANK BANK BANK24") 1" ~ "BANK24 you wish to sweep using Memory Bank Link BANK24 Scan. A small blinking " " icon will appear at the above of the volume level indicator, indicating this Memory Bank will now be swept during Memory Bank Scan. Repeat steps 4 and 5 above, to append the blinking " " icon to any other Memory Banks you wish to sweep. Now, press and hold in the [BAND] key for one second to initiate the Memory Bank Link Scan. To remove a Memory Bank from the Memory Bank Link Scan, repeat steps 1 - 5 above, to delete the blinking " " icon from the Memory Bank number indication. VX-3R OPERATING MANUAL 61 SCANNING PROGRAMMABLE (BAND LIMIT) MEMORY SCAN (PMS) 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, to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of the band below 144. 300 MHz. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary. Using the techniques learned earlier in the above procedures, store 144. 300 MHz into L1 Memory Channel #L1 (the "L" designates the Lower sub-band limit). Likewise, store 148. 000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the "U" designates the U1 Upper sub-band limit). Press and hold in the [BAND] key for one second and rotate the DIAL knob while holding in the [BAND] key to select the desired PMS frequency pair (PMSxx Then release the [BAND] PMSxx). Pxx The Memory Channel number will be replaced by "Pxx Tuning Pxx". 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1 U1 through L50 U50 are available. You L1/U1 L50/U50 therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like. 62 VX-3R OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING PRIORITY CHANNEL SCANNING (DUAL WATCH) The VX-3R's scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability, which allows you to operate on a VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in accordance SCN. RSM. with the Scan-Resume mode set via Set Mode Item 75: SCN. RSM See page 54. [. . . ] Available Values: SLOW (1. 25 tone/sec)/FAST (2. 5 tone/sec) Default: FAST Set Mode Item 90 [VFO MD] Function: Selects or disables the VFO band edge limiting for the current band. Available Values: ALL/BAND Default: BAND BAND: When the VFO frequency reaches the high band edge of the current band, the VFO frequency will jump to the low band edge of the current band (or vice versa). ALL: When the VFO frequency reaches the high edge of the current band, the VFO frequency will jump to the low band edge of the next band (or vice versa). Available Values: ON/OFF Default: OFF The "My Band" feature allows you to select several operating bands, and make only those bands available for selection via the [BAND] key. [. . . ]
