SCAN MODES
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you
to monitor a number of channels. Your Dealer will help you
define a channel “scan list” to be programmed into a scan
channel. Once that channel location is selected, scan is
initiated.
NORMAL CHANNEL SCAN
Once the scan list is programmed you can initiate scan.
Simply move the channel selector knob to the scan channel
position and the radio will start to scan. The top panel LED
can be programmed to flash green as the radio is scanning.
If RF activity, with any programmed options, is detected on
any of the channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that
channel and monitor it. If programmed for normal scan TX,
you will be able to transmit on that active channel during the
programmed scan delay time. The scan delay time is the
amount of time the radio will stay on that channel once the
activity has ceased. The radio will resume scanning once
the scan delay time has expired. Scanning will continue until
the channel is changed.
PRIORITY CHANNEL SCAN
A single channel may be programmed as the “Priority”
channel. The radio will constantly monitor this channel while
scanning and when the radio has stopped on an active
channel. If a call is detected on the “Priority” channel, the
radio will automatically move to, and remain on, the “Priority”
channel for as long as the priority conversation takes place.
“Priority” channel activity takes precedence over all other
conversations.
NOTE: “Priority” channel scan and “look back” require that
the radio leave the active channel for a fraction of a second
(at regular intervals) to check the “priority” channel for
activity. Depending how the radio is programmed, this may
or may not be noticeable as “breaks” on the active channel
for that same fraction of a second.
