VFO AND MEMORY SCANNING
Previous Page    Index of Topics    Table of Contents    Index of Pages    Next Page
You may scan either the VFO or the memories of the FTDX1200, and the radio will halt scanning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch.

VFO SCANNING

    1. Set the VFO-A to the frequency on which you would like to begin scanning.

    2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the background noise is just silenced.

    3. Press and hold in the microphone [UP] or [DWN] key for one second to start scanning in the specified direction on the VFO frequency.

    4. If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the dicimal point between the "MHz" and "kHz" digits of the frequency display will blink.

ADVICE:

If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume in about five seconds.

On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the scanner will pause on a received signal, then will step across the signal very slowly, giving you timeto stop the scan, if you like. In these modes on the VFO, the scanner does not stop, however.

    5. To cancel scanning, press the [PTT] switch.

ADVICE:

If you press the microphone PTT switch during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However, pressing the PTT switch during scanning will not cause transmission.

You may select the manner in which the scanner resumes while it has paused on a signal, using Menu item "048 MIC SCAN RESUME". The default "TIME" (5sec) setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; you may change it, however, to resume only after the carrier has dropped out.
