4. Press the [ ↓ ] key to choose CH Dwell. Enter channel dwell time in seconds. Dwell time
is the time in seconds the receiver waits on each channel in a scan group before it
selects the next frequency.
5. Press the [ ↓ ] key to choose Mode, and then choose the communication mode; AUTO,
ARQ or FEC.
Note:
AUTO is used to register scanning channel group when both ARQ and FEC exist
in the same Scanning Channel Group. When you choose scan group by the call
station menu, set Mode to FEC. (See paragraph 11.6.)
6. Press the [ ↓ ] key to choose Auto Search. Choose Auto Search to ON or OFF.
Auto Search ON: The radio stops scanning when it finds the strongest signal (highest
S/N ratio). To find the strongest signal, the radio scans all channels,
which may take some time. Therefore, use this setting where signal
propagation is poor.
Auto Search OFF:
The radio stops scanning on the first signal it finds. We recommend
that you set Auto Search to OFF when signal propagation is good.

number (ITU or user channels) and press the [ → ] key to choose "Scan.”

If you enter an invalid channel, the message “ Channel by that name does not
exist. Press any key to escape.” Appears. Press any key and reenter channel.
8. Press the [ ↓ ] key to choose line No. 2. Enter channel number.
