GME TX3345 - Manual (Page 13)

AUTO SKIP
If while scanning, a busy channel becomes a nuisance by
constantly causing the scan to pause, you can skip over it by
pressing the SKIP button (or the
or keys) while
the radio is paused on that channel. This will temporarily
remove the busy channel from the scan for 30 seconds to
allow it time to become clear. The radio will then resume
scanning from the next channel in the sequence. After 30
seconds the skipped channel becomes active in the scan
again. You can use this method to temporarily remove
multiple busy channels from the scan if required.
If the unwanted busy channel continues to delay the scan
after the 30 second skip period has elapsed, you can
completely remove that channel from the scan group for the
duration of the current scan session by holding the
SCAN
OS/GS
key
while the radio is paused on that channel. The ‘nuisance’
channel will be removed from the scan group for the
duration of that scan session. To restore the channel, simply
stop and restart the scan session using the
SCAN
OS/GS
key. You
can use this method to remove multiple busy channels from
the current scan session if required.
NOTE: In Group Scan mode you can also treat the Priority
Channel as a nuisance channel and remove it from
the scan session, but if you do, you will no longer be
monitoring the Priority Channel while scanning. However
if you press the PTT you will still be taken straight to
the Priority Channel when required to converse on that
channel. After your conversation has finished the scan will
continue without the Priority Channel included.
QUICK CHANNEL SELECT
To quickly review or edit channels stored in the current scan
memory, briefly press the
MENU
F
key then press the
or keys to manually step through the stored scan
channels. Only those channels that have been stored in the
current scan group memory will be displayed. During this
time ‘F’ will remain on the display to confirm you are still in
‘Quick Select’ mode. To exit this mode, press the
MENU
F
key
again or wait 10 seconds for the function to time out.
USING TWO GROUP SCAN OR TWO OPEN
SCAN MODES
If you prefer, the TX3345 can be re-programmed to have
two Group Scan modes or two Open Scan modes instead of
one of each.
Your TX3345 can be retailer programmed to convert the
Group Scan mode into a second Open Scan mode and vice
versa. If you would prefer to have two Group Scan or two
Open Scan modes, you should contact your GME retailer
to arrange for this feature to be enabled (when using two
Group Scan modes the Priority Channel will be the same
channel for both scan groups).
When the second Open or Group Scan mode is enabled, the
resulting two Scan modes become Scan 1 and Scan 2.
To select the required Scan Mode
Press the MENU
F
key followed by the SCAN
OS/GS
key. ‘Scan 1’ or
‘Scan 2’ will be displayed to confirm your selection. When
enabled, the two scan modes will be identical in operation.
NOTE: Enabling or disabling the second Open or Group Scan
mode is not a user selectable option. Once enabled by your
GME retailer, the changed Scan mode becomes a permanent
part of the TX3345’s features and replaces the standard
Scan selection. If you find later that you need the original
Group or Open Scan function re-enabled, you will need to
return your TX3345 to your retailer for re-programming.
SELECTIVE CALLING
Your TX3345 has a Selective Calling system known as
SelCall that operates like a telephone. Your radio is pre-
programmed with its unique SelCall Identification Number.
If this number is called by another radio, your TX3345 will
beep to alert you. If you do not want to hear any other
activity while waiting on a channel, you can select the Quiet
mode. Your radio will then remain quiet to all incoming
signals until your SelCall number is called.
