FOR SPEAKER OR PHONES, AS SET BY THE SWITCH BEHIND THE FRONT PANEL.  SCOPE
FUNCTION THE FT 891 OFFERS A SPECTRUM SCOPE FUNCTION.  THE SCOPE TIME
SHARES THE SINGLE RECEIVER, AND WHILE ON, THE SOFT A, B, AND C BUTTONS
BECOME SCOPE SPECIFIC.  THE DISPLAY IS CENTERED ON THE RECEIVE FREQUENCY,
AND THE SPAN CAN BE SET TO 117R5, 35, 70, 175, OR 1350 KHZ USING THE SPN
BUTTON.  I FOUND THAT THE SCOPE COULD BE USED IN A NUMBER OF WAYS.  IN THE
DEFAULT MODE, IT MAKES A SINGLE SWEEP EACH TIME THE SOFT SWEEP SWP BUTTON
IS PRESSED HANDY TO CHECK NEARBY SIGNALS DURING A LULL IN THE CONVERSATION.
A THIRD SOFT BUTTON LV1 LV3 GIVES THREE LEVEL OPTIONS TO COMPENSATE FOR
DIFFERENT SIGNAL OR NOISE LEVELS AND SET THE AMPLITUDE RANGE OF THE
DISPLAY.  YOU CAN CHANGE THE TRANSCEIVE FREQUENCY WHILE IN THIS MODE, AND
THE CENTER CURSOR WILL MOVE AS YOU TUNE.  THE NEXT TIME YOU HIT SWP, THE
DISPLAY WILL RE CENTER, SO YOU CAN EASILY TUNE TO A DISPLAYED SIGNAL.  THE
