However, the "Hyper Memory" Mode allows you to store the total current configuration of the radio into a special "Hyper" memory bank. For example, a Hyper Memory location may store the frequencies of both the "Left" and "right" bands, plus Scanning features, etc. Hyper Memory Storage 1. Press and hold in the Hyper Memory key ([1] through [6]), corresponding to the Hyper Memory channel into which you wish to store this configuration, for 2 seconds. Hyper Memory Recall Press the appropriate Hyper Memory key ([1] through [6]) to recall the desired Hyper Memory channel. The current (original) configuration will lost when you recall the Hyper Memory Channel. To prevent this from happening, press and hold in the Hyper Memory key (generally the [1] key) to store the current configuration into that Hyper Memory Channel before recalling the Hyper Memory Channel, or set Menu #16 to enable the Automatic Writing feature for the Hyper Memory. See page 63 for details. FT-8800R Operating Manual 37 SCANNING The FT-8800R allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like. Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it halts on a signal. Setting the Scan-Resume Technique Two options for the Scan-Resume mode are available: TIME: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within five seconds, the scanner will resume even if the stations are still active. Two seconds after the carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission, the scanner will resume. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob to select the desired scan-resume mode. Press and hold in the "Main" band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. Note: The default condition for this Menu Item is "TIME. " 38 FT-8800R Operating Manual SCANNING VFO SCANNING This mode allows you to scan the entire current operating band. Press and hold in the [SCN] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the bandwidth for the VFO scanner. Available selections are ±1 MHz, ±2 MHz, ±5 MHz, ALL, PMS-X, and BAND. ALL: The scanner will sweep all frequencies between 108 - 520 MHz and 700 999. 990 MHz. PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the currently-selected PMS frequency pair (X is PMS memory channel number). The "P-X" appear on the display while engage the PMS scanning, the "P Sc" appear on the display while engage other scanning. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink during this "Pause" condition. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the previous section. To cancel scanning, press the [SCN] key momentarily again (or press the microphone's PTT key). [. . . ] Menu #37 [SKP. MSM] Function: Selects what action will happen on a "flagged" Memory Channel Available Values: OFF/SKIP/MSM Default: OFF OFF: All memory channels will be scanned (the "flag" will be ignored). SKIP: The scanner will "skip" the flagged ("SKIP") channels during scanning. MSM: The scanner will "only scan" the flagged (Preferential) channels during scanning. Available Values: 5. 0 k/10. 0 k/12. 5 k/15. 0 k/20. 0 k/25. 0 k/50. 0 k Default: Depends on the band of operation. [. . . ]
