the Low sub-band limit memory channel, the alpha-
numeric “Tag” will appear while you are selecting
the bandwidth for the VFO scanner.

4. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the
scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink
during this “Pause” condition.
5. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
6. To cancel scanning, press the

nel, the alpha-numeric “Tag” will appear while you are selecting the bandwidth for
the VFO scanner.
1) When you start the VFO Scanner, the VX-6E will be changing frequency
in the upward direction. If you want to change direction of the scan while it
is underway, rotate the DIAL knob one click in the opposite direction (in this
case, one click counter-clockwise). You’ll see the scanner turn around and change fre-
quency downward!
2) You may change the scanner’s method of operation so that the VFO frequency will jump
to the low band edge of the
next
band when the VFO frequency reaches the high edge of
the
current
band (or vice versa). See page 102 regarding Set Mode Item 71: VFO MD.
