key, if neces-
sary.
2.
Press and hold in the

knob
while
holding in the

(the current Memory Scan mode will appear on
the frequency display) to select the desired Memory Scan

the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started.
TAG2
:
The scanner sweeps only those Memory channels with the same first and
second digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scan-
ning started.
BAND

the same operating band as the first channel on which scanning started.

selected Memory Scan mode, the “
MS ERR
” notation will appear on the display.
