this is not jump scanning in different frequencies ranges , its SCANNING AT THE SAME Dongle Bandwidth Range , i build in this video the principle how to make scanning VFOs memory for TWO VFOs : VFO1+ VFO2 , and you can increase it as what you like .. i make my own 13 VFOs Scanning and works well too ! its very good for monitoring NFM analog frequencies if its all closer together and at your dongle bandwidth ... we learn how to make RF Gain slider , VFO1 , VFO2 , SQL , PPM Correction , Center frequency , volume ....i use in this long tutorial 32 BLOCKS .
