[. . . ] You may also append an alpha-numeric "Tag" (label) to a Home channel, as described previously. be sure to recall the Home channel first, then enter the Menu (selection "30 NM SET") to program the label's contents. From the Home channel, you may tune off (as in the Memory Tune mode) without doing anything more than rotating the main DIAL knob. This automatically shifts control to the VFO, making it a good idea to program in your area's "Calling Frequency" as the Home channel. Once contact is established, you may then tune off the Calling Frequency to an open simplex frequency to carry on your QSO. 40 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY-ONLY MODE Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a "Memory Only" mode, whereby VFO and Home Channel operation are impossible. This may be particularly useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired. To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 41 SCANNING The FT-1802M's scanning capability provides the operator with many convenient methods of rapid frequency navigation. BASIC SCANNER OPERATION Before activating the scanner, make sure that the Squelch is set to silence the background noise when no signal is present. Scanning is not possible while the Squelch is open (if noise or signals are being heard). Scanning may be started or stopped using the microphone's [UP] or [DWN] button. The following techniques are used for scanning: Pressing and holding in either the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second in the VFO mode will cause upward or downward band scanning, respectively, to begin. Pressing and holding in either the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second in the Memory mode will cause memory channel scanning toward a higher- or lower-numbered memory channel, respectively. Scanning pauses when a signal opens the squelch, and the decimal point on the display will blink. To halt the scan manually, the easiest way is to push the PTT switch on the microphone momentarily (no transmission will occur while you are scanning). The scan may also be halted manually by pressing the microphone's [UP ] or [DWN ] button, or the [D/ MR(MW)] key. In the factory default setting, the scanner sweeps all frequencies while the VFO mode and all memory channels while the Memory mode. You may change the sweep range of the VFO mode to ±1 MHz, ±2 MHz, or ±5 MHz, or sweep only those Memory Channels with the same "first" or "first" and "second" digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scanning started, using Set Mode items "28 MEM. SCN" and "56 VFO. SCN. " See pages 75 and 80 for details. 42 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING SCAN-RESUME OPTIONS Three scan-resume modes are available on the FT-1802M: In the "BUSY" mode, the scanner will remain halted for as long as there is carrier present on the channel; after the carrier drops at the end of the other station's transmission, scanning will resume. In the "HOLD" mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume. In the "3SEC/5SEC/10SEC" mode, the scanner will halt for the selected resume time, after which scanning will resume (whether or not the other station is still transmitting). The default scan-stop mode is "BUSY. " To change the scan-resume mode, use the following procedure: 1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select "41 RESUME. " 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired scan-resume mode. [. . . ] Whether or not all 31 memories are filled, the search stops after one sweep in each direction. CNTNUE: The transceiver makes a sweep in each direction as with the "SINGLE" mode, but if all 31 channels are not filled after the first sweep, the radio continues sweeping until they are all filled. Available Values: 0. 00 - 99. 95 MHz Default: 0. 60 MHz 78 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL "SET" (MENU) MODE MENU SELECTION DETAILS 47 SKIP Function: Selects the Memory Scan mode. Available Values: SKIP / ONLY / OFF Default: OFF SKIP: The scanner will "skip" the flagged channels during scanning. [. . . ]
