[. . . ] Press the [ · (BEEP)] key to select the desired Scan-Resume mode: "DELAY, " "PAUSE, " or "HOLD. " 5. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the "END" menu option, then press the [ENT(SET)] key. Confirm that the cursor is on the "WRITE" menu option, then press the [ENT(SET)] key to save a new setting and exit. Here is the procedure for setting up the Scan-Resume mode for PMS scanning: 1. Press the [PMS(PMS SET)] key to enter the "PMS" mode (described below). Rotate the DIAL knob to select the "MISC" menu option, then press [ENT(SET)]. Press the [ · (BEEP)] key, repeatedly if necessary, to select "DELAY, " "PAUSE, " or "HOLD, " as desired. Rotate the DIAL knob to select "END, " then press [ENT(SET)]. The display should now indicate "WRITE;" press the [ENT(SET)] key again to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. MEMORY SCANNING 1. Press the [V/M(MW)] key, if needed, to enter the "MR" (Memory Recall) mode. Press the [ ( )/ ( )] keys to select the memory bank on which you wish to do memory channel scanning. Press the [SCAN(M-S SCAN)] key to initiate memory channel scanning in an upward direction (in the current memory bank). If the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner will halt and pause on that channel. Scanning will resume according to the protocol you selected in the previous discussion. toward a lower memory channel, instead of a higher memory channel), turn the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clock direction (or press the [ ( )] key momentarily) while the VR-5000 is scanning. To revert to scanning toward a higher memory channel once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise (or press the [ ( )] key momentarily). Press the [SCAN(M-S SCAN)] key to disable memory channel scanning. 32 VR-5000 OPERATING MANUAL Scanning If you wish to have the memory channel scanner sweep all memories (in all memory banks): (1) Press the [F] key momentarily, then press the [ENT(SET)] key. (2) Rotate the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the "MR" menu option, then press the [ENT(SET)] key. (3) Confirm that the cursor is on the "MR BANK" menu option, then press the [ · (BEEP)] key to change its setting to "All Mem. " (4) Rotate the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the "END" menu option, then press the [ENT] key. (5) Confirm that the cursor is on the "WRITE" menu option, then press the [ENT] key to save the entry and exit. (6) Press the [SCAN(M-S SCAN)] key to initiate memory channel scanning in an upward direction on the all memories (in all memory banks). If you set the "MR BANK" menu option to "In BANK" in step (3), it will return the memory channel scanner to sweeping within the current memory bank only. Memory Channel Skip As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Broadcast station will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the "PAUSE" Scan-resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the receiver to resume scanning. [. . . ] Most of these duplicate menu programming settings or options, or else emulate front panel button functions. However, every Command Block sent to the radio must always consist of five bytes. The CAT control program you are writing must construct the 5-byte block, by selecting the appropriate instruction opcode, organizing the parameters, if any, and providing unused (dummy) argument bytes for padding the block to its required 5-byte length (the dummy bytes can contain any value). The resulting five bytes are then sent, opcode last, from the computer to the VR-5000 CPU via the serial port and CAT jack on the radio rear panel. [. . . ]
