Scanning and Monitoring

The ‘Scan’ option allows you to scan through the available channels for voice activity. As

the unit scans and receives a signal (or if you transmit), it stops on that channel/squelch code
for a few seconds, then continues scanning. When the Rino 130 is scanning and it receives an
incoming signal, the Rino 130 automatically decodes the Squelch Code used by the incoming
signal. The Rino 130 then uses that Squelch Code when it transmits back to that unit.

You may use the Set Scanlist option to pick which channels/squelch codes to scan. Scan-

ning through the all the channels can take time: Selecting only specific channels/squelch codes
decreases the scan time and helps prevent the chances of missing a transmission. The Scanlist
also has Option Menu

choices to ‘Scan Current Codes’ or ‘Scan All Codes’. Choosing ‘Scan

Current Codes’ scans only the Channel and Squelch Code combination in memory.

Radio Page

Choose from 38 squelch

codes. Setting the unit to

zero will allow you to hear

all transmissions on that

channel, but you must be

on the same squelch code to

radio back.
