Scan Limit: Maximum number of channels 
to be scanned. 
Sequence of scanning starts at channel 1 
and counts upward to the maximum 
number of channels to be scanned. Once 
the maximum channel has been reached 
the scanning sequence repeats beginning 
with channel 1. 
N
OTE
: The wrap-around time for
scanning the same channel is a function of 
the scan limit and the scan rate. For 
example, if the scan limit is 10 and the 
scan rate is 100 ms, the minimum wrap-
around time for any one channel is 10 
100 ms, or 1 second.

Scan Rate (ms): Time allotted for carrier 
detect per channel frequency. 
Depending upon the radio and the 
programming of the radio used, the time 
required for detection of valid carrier can 
vary. Factors such as the design of the 
radio, use of PL/DPL and quieting can 
affect carrier detection time. Consult your 
radio manual and manufacturer for specific 
carrier-detect times. 
N
OTE
: The scan rate should be set for the
maximum time any one channel requires 
for reliable carrier detection.

SW2-8 Scan Stop Time: Time scan halts after a
desk set PTT (SW1-5) or carrier is no 
longer detected (SW1-8). 
UP = 4 seconds

N
OTE
: Scan Rate Setting - Due to the differences in radios, the scan rate should be selected from the
slowest level (500 ms) first. The scan rate can be affected by the PL/DPL decode time within certain 
radio transceivers.
