PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY SCAN
(
PMS
)
O
PERATION
To limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular
frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory
Scanning (PMS) feature, which utilizes 10 special-purpose
memory pairs (“M-P1L/ M-P1U” through “M-P5L/ M-
P5U”). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping you
to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your
Amateur license class.
PMS setup is simple to accomplish:
1. Store the upper and lower frequency limits of the de-
sired range into the PMS memory pair (“M-PxL” and
“M-PxU”)
2. Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the V/M key
once, then rotate the DIAL to select the Memory chan-
nel “M-PxL” or “M-PxU”.
3. Press the
[
F
]
key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/
VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row “f”
[
ARTS, SRCH, PMS
]
appears on the display.
4. Press the
[
C
](
PMS
)
key. The “PMS-x” indication will
appear at the upper left corner of the LCD, signifying
that the PMS feature is engaged. Tuning and scanning
(by pressing the
[
A
](
SCN
)
key on the Multi Function
Row “g”
[
SCN, PRI, DW
]
) are now limited within the
range between the selected PMS memory pair, keeping
operation inside this programmed range.
Example: Limit tuning & scanning to the frequency range
144.30 - 148.00 MHz
1. Press the V/M key, as necessary, to recall the VFO mode.
Tune the MEM/VFO CH or DIAL knob to 144.300 MHz.
2. Press the
[
F
]
key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/
VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row
“b”
[
MW, SKIP, TAG
]
appears on the display.
3. Press the
[
A
](
MW
)
key momentarily, then turn the MEM/
VFO CH knob to select memory channel “M-P1L.”
4. Press and hold in the
[
A
](
MW
)
key for one second to
write the VFO frequency into “M-P1L.”
5. Now, tune the MEM/VFO CH or DIAL knob to 148.000
MHz.
Press the
[
A
](
MW
)
key momentarily, then turn the MEM/
VFO CH knob to select memory channel “M-P1U.”
6. Press and hold the
[
A
](
MW
)
key for one second to write
the VFO frequency into “M-P1U.”
7. Press the
[
F
]
key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/
VFO CH knob one click clockwise to recall Multi Func-
tion Row “f”
[
ARTS, SRCH, PMS
]
.
8. Press the
[
C
](
PMS
)
key momentarily. Tuning and scan-
ning are now limited to the 144.30 - 148.00 MHz range
until you press the V/M key to return to memory or VFO
operation.
SCANNING OPERATION
DUAL WATCH OPERATION
Dual Watch is similar, in some respects, to scanning. In Dual
Watch, however, the transceiver monitors (squelched) on
the VFO-A frequency while periodically checking VFO-B
for activity (or vice-versa). A typical example might be for
you to set VFO-A to 50.110 MHz, watching for DX stations
who might call CQ on that frequency, while periodically
checking 28.885 MHz for stations reporting band openings
on 6 meters.
To activate Dual Watch:
1. Set up transmit and receive operation on VFO-A, estab-
lishing your primary monitoring frequency. Set up the
frequency to be checked periodically on VFO-B.
2. Recall VFO-A, then rotate the SQL control until the
background noise is just silenced.
3. Press the
[
F
]
key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/
VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row
“g”
[
SCN, PRI, DW
]
appears on the display.
4. Press the
[
C
](
DW
)
key momentarily to activate Dual
Watch operation (the “ ” icon will
appear at the upper of the frequency
display). The transceiver will con-
tinue to monitor (squelched) on the
current (VFO-A) frequency, but every five seconds will
switch briefly to VFO-B frequency, looking for activity.
5. If a station is detected on the VFO-B frequency, the trans-
ceiver will pause on the VFO-B frequency (the decimal
point in the frequency will blink).
6. Press the
[
C
](
DW
)
key again to cancel Dual Watch op-
eration (the “ ” icon will disappear).
Note that pressing the PTT switch on the mi-
crophone does not cancel Dual Watch opera-
tion.
