32 5 SCAN OPERA TION ■ Scan resume condition When receiving a signal, scan automatically pauses on that signal. The scan resume condition sets the time that the scan pauses bef ore resuming or whether scan stops instead of pausing. q Call up the setting screen if it is not displa yed.
33 5 SCAN OPERA TION ■ Scan speed setting The searching speed of frequencies or memor y channels is variable . D Using the multi-function receiver screen ➥ Click the [SPEED] control with the sub mouse b utton to in- crease the scan speed; click the [SPEED] control with the main mouse button to decrease the scan speed.
34 6 B AND SCOPE ■ Operation The band scope function allows you to visually chec k a spec- i fi ed frequency range. Receive audio is m uted while monitor ing the band scope.
35 6 BAND SCOPE t Click the w avef or m to select the frequency of the signal. • Click the [ s / ❙❙ ] b utton to pause a sw eep and monitor the fre- quency . Repeat to resume the sw eep . • While pausing the band scope, y ou can also select the frequency by clic king the wav eform.
36 7 T ONE SQUELCH OPERA TION The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con- taining a matching subaudib le tone in FM mode. F or e xam- ple, y ou can silently wait f or calls from group members using the same tone in an amateur band. D Using the multi-function receiver screen q Click the [FM] b utton to select FM mode.
