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 so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW “Weak Signal” portion of the band
below 144.300 MHz. Here’s how to do this:
1.
Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [
VFO
(
PRI
)] key, if necessary.
2.
Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above concept) 144.300 MHz into
Memory Channel #L1 (the “L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3.
Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the “U” designates the
Upper sub-band limit).
4.
Confirm the radio is in the VFO mode, press and hold in the [
VFO
(
PRI
)] key for one
second, and rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired PMS frequency pair (
PMSxx
),
then press the [
VFO
(
PRI
)] key.
5.
Now, press and hold in the [
MR/MW
(
SKIP
)] key for one second to initiate Program-
mable (Band Limit) Memory Scan. Scanning will now be limited within the just-pro-
grammed range.
6.
10 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L10/U10 are available. You
therefore can set upper and lower operation limits in multiple segments on the band, if
you like.
