DEFINITION

Classification: 455/161.1

Frequency scanning:

(under subclass 150.1) Subject matter in which the selection means includes means for automatically tuning the receiver through a desired frequency range or a plurality of frequency ranges to obtain a carrier signal having predetermined characteristics (e.g., frequency, amplitude).

(1) Note. The selection means in this subclass and the indented subclasses may include electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical systems. For example, the selection means may be adjusted to resonance at a desired frequency automatically by the action of a manually operated button, lever, dial, or knob means or means whereby the selection means is locked or clamped in a predetermined position as a consequence of the frequency of the received input carrier signal.
