This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO opera-
tion. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz 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
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 146.000 MHz into Memory Channel #
U1
(the “U” designates the
Upper sub-band limit).
4.
Press and hold in the
key for one second and rotate the
DIAL
knob
while
holding in the
key
to select the de-
sired PMS frequency pair (
PMSxx
).
5.
Release the
key to start scanning within the just-pro-
grammed range. The “
VFO
” label will be replaced by “
PMS
”
and the Band number will be replaced by “
Pxx
”. Tuning
and scanning will now be limited within the just-pro-
grammed range.
6.
50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled
L1
/
U1
through
L50
/
U50
are available.
You therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you
like.
7.
To exit to normal operation, press the
key.
