PREFERENTIAL MEMORY SCAN

The VX-8R also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you can

“flag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “W” icon

when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List. When you ini-

tiate memory scanning on a channel with the blinking “W” icon appended, only those

channels bearing the blinking “W” icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a

channel which does not have the blinking “W” icon appended, you will scan all channels

including those with the blinking “W” icon appended.

Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:

1. Recall the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the

Preferential Scan List.

2. Press and hold the key for one second to enter the Set

Mode.
