SEARCH button, you will still search in the normal upwards manner. If you
want to continue to search downwards, keep pressing the Down arrow button.
Using the Down arrow while scanning
The Down arrow works in a similar manner while scanning as it does while
searching. If you are scanning, pressing the Down arrow button stops the scanner
at the current channel, but keeps it in scan mode. The successive presses of the
Down arrow button will step you backwards through the scan channels. If you
press and hold the Down arrow button for a moment, the scanner will start
scanning backwards through the available scan channels. As with searching, this
does not set up a “mode.” If you want to keep scanning backwards, keep using
the Down arrow. When you press the normal SCAN button, you will always
scan from lower to higher channels.
Tip:
In Manual mode, you can use the MANUAL button to step forward through
each Scan channel, but there is no equivalent method of stepping backwards
through the channels. You can use the Down arrow button to make the scanner
act in this manner. The difference is that, because you are still in Scan mode,
when you step with the Down arrow, you will skip over every locked channel. In
addition, you will only be able to step through unlocked scan banks. In Manual
mode, you can step through every bank in the scanner (as long as it has not been
limited with bank limiting). Even if the bank itself is locked, the MANUAL
button will let you step through it. When you use the Down arrow, you can only
step through the banks (and the channels) that are unlocked.
Using the Down arrow in Manual mode
When you are in Manual mode, you will be looking at one scan channel. You
can temporarily change the frequency of that channel by pressing the Down
arrow. The scanner will decrement the current frequency by the default incre-
ment value of 12.5 KHz. You can change this default by pressing the INC
button and entering in a different increment value. For example, if Manual mode
stops you on channel 212, which contains the frequency 460.500 MHz, and you
press the Down arrow, the frequency in channel 212 will change to 460.4875
MHz. If you first changed the increment value to 10 KHz, by pressing INC, 10,
ENT, then when you press the Down arrow, the frequency in channel 212 will
read 460.490 MHz. The Down arrow, in this case, is equivalent to turning the
Tuning knob one click to the left (counter-clockwise). Turning the knob to the
right (clockwise) will increment the frequency by the increment amount. There is
no keyboard equivalent to turning the Tuning knob to the right.
