16. Step Mode
Marine radios offer a wide range of chan-
nels, but frequently there are only 5 to 10
of interest to most recreational boaters.
Step Mode allows you to work with only
those channels in scan memory while
ignoring others.
Press and hold the MEM/STEP key to
toggle the Step Mode on or off.
When Step Mode is on (STEP icon
appears), press the ▲ or ▼ keys to select
the scan memory channels.
• When Step Mode is selected, the
Radio Status Display will show
STEP ON for three seconds. (Fig.
16a)
• When the Step Mode is deselected,
the Radio Status Display will show
STEP OFF for three seconds. (Fig
16b) and the STEP indicator will
turn off.
Note: Step Mode can be confusing if
you’re unaware that it is selected. If you
can’t seem to select the channels that you
want, check for the STEP indicator on
the display. Press and hold MEM/STEP
to exit Step Mode.
