Pressing Key 1 steps through the scan modes in the following sequence:- 

Stop 

Stops the scan when a signal is encountered. 

Continuous  

Allows the receiver to auto tune up or down with the squelch lifted. 

Hold 

Waits on a channel while it is active and for a period, after the signal has gone, before 

moving on, to avoid missing part of a two-way conversation. 

Pause  

Only waits on an occupied channel for a short time (defined by the user) before 

continuing to scan. 

Hold and pause times are set by selecting 4.More, 3.More and using keys 1 and 2 to 

select the time duration’s.

Auto memory. 

In this mode a memory will be allocated each time the squelch is activated during 

scanning. A record of frequency, mode and current text is recorded in the currently 

selected group. First select an appropriate step size, e.g. 10kHz for C.B. frequencies, 

(don’t make it too small otherwise multiple entries will be made for each signal),
