Unable to make D710GA Group or Program Scan work
|
I am pretty much certain that I have carefully read the Scan section of the D710 PDF.
When I try to scan, all I get is scan through whatever frequency I am on. ....118.5 (from a lower-limit) . I will only see the last of three numerals, blink, and the scan goes through only that MHz range ... I am interested in a L0 through U0, in the Aircraft band L0=118.00 and U0=121.400 I see the "1" then scan thru 121.0 to 121.975'ish then repeat. any help? -- -- Bob KD7YZ TM-D710GA

Good evening Bob - Coincidently, I just stumbled across the detailed 710 instruction manual on CD that I lost some time back. Mine is an earlier 710A but assume it works the same in Scan mode as the G model. Presume you are referring to Sec 4 / Scan as the PDF mentioned?
Your description suggests you are executing a "MHz scan"? Page "Scan-3 " depicts the somewhat detailed steps for a "Program Scan" using a pre-programmed pair of low to high frequencies (Lx to Ux where x is an integer from 0 to 9). If you don't have this document, happy to send you a copy? 73 MW / N4MEW 904.616.2004

Good evening Bob -Howdy. Presume you are referring to Sec 4 / Scan as the PDF mentioned? Your I DO have the complete, sectioned, Instruction PDF you mentioned. So after re-looking, I noticed during a Scan that the Step-Size was incorrectly 12.5Kc ... this, it turns out, was programmed into one of the VFO-Screens. Even tho 25KC was in the memories table. So I changed all the VFO-tabs to be 25Khz. Then a form of VFO scan started. Next I notice that I AM on the correct Band ...namely 118MHz band. HOWEVER, a scan starts at 118 and goers as for as 129.975 then restarts at 118.025 again. This appears to mimic a Limit-Memories L0-U0 selection. Since it isn't possible to link all the Limit-Memories, I can't get past a VFO Scan of being tied to Limit-Memories. You worked that one out? There were, for my Locale, two or three frequencies that seemed to be a modulated single tone that was both strong as well as constant. So I tried to split up the limit-memories. In any event, according to VFO-Scan, If I put myself (VFO, on anything in the 118 Band, which ostensibly goes through 136 MHZ, that I should scan 118 to 1`36 ....according to VFO Scan ... right?? cuz it "ain't" doing that. hopefully two memory-tables from my D710 will come through. A pix is worth a thousand words ... -- 73 Bob KD7YZ AMSAT LM #901
