FTA-250L OperATing MAnuAL32sCannIng operatIonThe FTA-250L allows you to scan active channels au-tomatically in the COMM (COM band), MR, and WX modes. It pauses on signals received, so you can talk to the station(s) on the frequency received.Scanning Channels1. Set the transceiver to the COMM mode.2. Press the [FUNC] key to display the Function screen.3. Select “SCAN” on the screen by pressing the [◄] or [►] key, and then press the [ENT] key. The scanning starts and the display returns to the COMM mode screen. The “SC” icon appears on the display. The scanner searches signals from the lowest fre-quency to highest. When the scanner encounters a signal, the scan-ning pauses and the transceiver remains on that channel until the signal disappears, and the fre-quency indication on the display blinks. After the signal disappears, scanning resumes. To stop scanning, press the PTT switch or select “SCAN” again in the Function screen.Note: When you enable the alarm function at recep-tion of the weather alert signal via the COMM SETUP menu in the SETUP mode, the last weather channel will be watched as the every second frequency during a scan.Example: When the last weather channel is 162.400 MHz (WX02), the transceiver scans in the following order.118.000 à 162.400 à 118.025 àà 162.400 à 118.050 à 162.400 ...The frequency of the last weather channel, however, will not be displayed until the scanner encounters the weather alert signal.
FTA-250L OperATing MAnuAL 3333sCannIng operatIonScanning the Specied ChannelsAmong the memory and weather channels, you may scan only those on which you want to see if a signal exists.Marking the channels1. Set the transceiver to the MR or WX mode and tune to the channel that you want to be scanned.2. Press the [FUNC] key.3. Select “MEMO MEM” by pressing the [◄] or [►] key, and then press the [ENT] key. The current channel is marked to be scanned and the “ ” icon, which indicates that the channel is the target of scanning, will appear at the top side of the memory name when the display returns to the MR or WX mode screen.4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 above to mark other channels as well.Scanning the marked channels1. Set the transceiver to the MR or WX mode.2. The scanning starts and the display returns to the MR or WX mode screen.The FTA-250L operates in the same way as it does when scanning all channels described in the previ-ous page, except that it searches marked frequencies only.Note: When you enable the alarm function of the weather alert signal via the COMM SETUP menu in the SETUP mode, the last weather channel will be watched as the every second frequency during a scan.Example: When the last weather channel is WX02 (162.4 MHz), the transceiver scans in the following order.001MEM à WX02 à 002MEM àà WX02 à 003MEM à WX02 ...The frequency of the last weather channel, however, will not be displayed until the scanner encounters the weather alert signal.

FTA-250L OperATing MAnuAL 43note
FTA-250L OperATing MAnuAL44Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain ap-proved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélec-trique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quiva-lente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.This radio transmitter (identify the device by certication number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.Le présent émetteur radio (identier le dispositif par son numéro de certication ou son numéro de modèle s’il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain ad-missible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.Part 15.21: Changes or modications to this device not expressly approved by YAESU MUSEN could void the user’s authorization to op-erate this device.Disposal of your Electronic and Electric EquipmentProducts with the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) can-not be disposed as household waste.Electronic and Electric Equipment should be recycled at a facility capable of handling these items and their waste by products.In EU countries, please contact your local equipment supplier representative or service center for information about the waste collec-tion system in your country.Attention in case of useThis transceiver works on frequencies which are not generally permitted. For frequency allocation, apply for a license at your local spectrum management authority. For actual usage contact your dealer or sales shop in order to get your transceiver ad-justed to the allocated frequency range.List of national codesAT BE BG CY CZ DEDK ES EE FI FR GBGR HR HU IE IT LTLU LV MT NL PL PTRO SK SI SE CH ISLI NO – – – –
