Scanning Operation; Vfo Scanning; Scan Resume Options - Yaesu FT-891 Operating Manual

You may scan either the VFO or the memories of the FT-891, and the radio will halt
scanning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch.

VFO Scanning

1. Set VFO-A to the frequency on which you would like to begin scanning.
[ RF/SQL ] knob may be changed
2. The
from the "RF" Function to the "SQL" Function
via Menu mode "05-05 [ RF/SQL VR ] ".
3. Rotate the [ RF/SQL ] knob so that the back-
ground noise is just silenced.
4. Press and hold in the microphone [ UP ] or
[ DWN ] key for one second to start scanning
in the specified direction on the VFO fre-
quency.
NOTE: Set the
Scanning" function to ON or OFF via
Menu Mode "05-15 [ MIC SCAN ] ".
5. If the scanner halts on an incoming signal,
the decimal point between the "MHz" and
"kHz" digits of the frequency display will
blink.
r If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume in about five seconds.
r If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the microphone [ UP ] or [ DWN ] key, will
cause scanning to resume instantly.
r If the Main Tuning DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the scanning
will continue up or down in frequency according to the direction of the DIAL Knob
rotation. ( in other words, if the dial is rotated to the left when scanning toward a
higher frequency, the direction of the scan will reverse. )
r On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the scanner will pause on a received
signal, then will step across the signal very slowly, giving you time to stop the scan,
if you like. However, In these modes on the VFO, the scanner does not stop.
6. To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch.
r If you press the microphone PTT switch during scanning, the scanner will halt at
once. However, pressing the PTT switch during scanning will not cause transmis-
sion.

Scan Resume Options

The manner in which the scanner resumes after it has paused on a signal may be selected
by using Menu mode "05-16 [ MIC SCAN RESUME ] ".
