[. . . ] Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it halts on a signal. Setting the Scan-Resume Technique Three options for the Scan-Resume mode are available: BUSY: BUSY In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. Two seconds after the carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission, the scanner will resume. TIME: TIME In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within five seconds, the scanner will resume even if the stations are still active. HOLD: HOLD In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not restart automatically; rotate the DIAL knob to re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired scan-resume mode. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. Note: The default condition for this Menu Item is "BUSY. " 42 FT-7B OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING VFO SCANNING This mode allows you to scan the entire current operating band. Press and hold in the [SCAN(SEL)] key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the bandwidth for the VFO scanner.

The small "SKIP icon will also appear when you recall the SKIP" SKIP "Skipped" memory channel manually. The "ONLY seONLY" ONLY lection is used for "Preferential Memory Scan", described in the next column. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select "OFF in step 5 above (the "Skipped" OFF" OFF channel will still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop). 44 FT-7B OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING MEMORY SCANNING Preferential Memory Scan The FT-7B also allows you to set up a "Preferential Scan List" of channels which you can "flag" within the memory system. These channels are designated by a " " icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List. When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the " " icon appended, only those channels bearing the " " icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the " " icon appended, you will scan all channels including those with the " " icon appended. Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List: 1. Press the [V/M(MW)] key momentarily to enter the Memory Recall mode, if you are not using memories already. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the channel which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List. [. . . ] SKIP: The scanner will "skip" the flagged ("SKIP") channels during scanning. ONLY: The scanner will only scan the flagged (Preferential) channels during scanning. Available Values: SPL. OFF/SPL. ON Default: SPL.
