NOTE: if there are no channels programmed in the Group
scan memory when you press the SCAN key (or there is only
one channel programmed and it is the same as the Priority
channel), a low beep will be heard and the command will
be ignored.
When scanning, the tX3340 scans all the channels
programmed into the Group scan memory, with the Priority
channel being scanned after every fourth channel (retailer
programmable option, if you require different timing for your
priority channel, please contact your retailer).
• if a signal appears on the Priority channel - at any time - the
receiver will switch straight to the Priority channel and will
stay there for as long as the channel is busy. during this
time you can transmit on the Priority channel in the usual
way. once there has been no activity for 5 seconds, the
radio will resume scanning the other channels.
• if a signal appears on one of the other channels, scanning
will pause on that channel and will remain there while
the channel is busy, as long as there are no signals on the
Priority channel. during this time the receiver will continue
to check the Priority channel for signals every 2 seconds,
resulting in a series of small ‘breaks’ in the reception of the
paused channel. once there has been no activity on any
channel for 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning.
• i f your radio pauses on a busy channel and you don’t wish
to listen to that conversation, briefly press the SKIP key on
the microphone. the radio will skip over that channel and
resume scanning from the next channel in the sequence.
• if your radio is paused on a busy channel and you wish to
remain there, briefly press the SCAN key. the radio will exit
scan mode and remain on the busy channel.
NOTE: the radio will no longer be monitoring the Priority
channel (unless it is the same as the busy channel). to
resume scanning, press the SCAN key again.
• to transmit on the Priority (working) channel At Any timE,
simply press the PTT key while the radio is scanning. the
radio will switch straight to the Priority channel. When

• to go directly to the Priority channel, briefly press the PRI
key. the radio will exit scan mode.

if you prefer, the tX3340 can be re-programmed to have two
Group scan modes or two open scan modes instead of one
of each.
For example there may be applications where you have no
need to scan the Priority channel and would prefer to have
two separate open scan modes. Alternatively you may have
applications where you prefer to have two Group scan modes
with different scan groups in each.
your tX3340 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 ‘F’ key followed by the 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 tX3340’s features and replaces the standard scan
selection. if you find later that you need the original Group or
