SCANNING OPERATION
Channel-Skip Scanning
Continuous-carrier stations like ATIS (Automatic
Terminal Information Service) or Weather Broadcast
stations inhibit scanner operation. Since these sta-
tions are always active, the scanner will be halted
repeatedly on their channels. Such channels can be
set to be “skipped” during scanning, if you like, so
as not to interfere with automatic channel scanning:
r Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped dur-
ing scanning.
r Press
[

]
à
[

(
SKIP
)]
key. The “SKIP” icon
will appear in the lower right corner, indicating
that the channel is to be ignored during scanning.
r You can also designate a channel to be skipped
while scanning. When the receiver is halted on a
channel that you wish to skip, press and hold the
[
SCAN
(
DW
)]
key for 2 seconds (the “SKIP”
icon will appear next to the channel to be
skipped).
r Later, to re-enable the memory channel for scan-
ning, repeat the first two steps. The “SKIP” icon
will disappear by the channel you have just re-
enabled.
Note: A memory set to be “skipped” is still acces-
sible for manual memory selection using the CHAN-
NEL selector knob.
