NXT Next Scan Channel
Press the NXT button to select the next consecutive channel in the scan
list (not during Scan operation).
LPW Low Power Select
Press the LPW button to toggle between high power and low power
transmitter operation. Transmitter power settings can be programmed
from 15 to 50 watts. If per-channel power is enabled, channels locked to
low power will always transmit in low power mode regardless of the state
of the LPW button.
GSC Group Scan
Press the GSC button to enable or disable Group Scan operation. During
Group Scan operation, the following features are disabled: Priority Scan,
User Code Guard, and Nuisance Channel Delete.
Turn Group Scan off, then press the GSC button for 1 second or more to
toggle the current group on or off the group scan list.
To reply to a message on the priority channel, turn the Channel Selector
knob to the priority channel, and then transmit. Once activity has ceased
on the priority channel, the radio returns to Scan operation.
Priority Mode C
With Priority Scan on and Channel Scan off, the radio samples the fixed
priority channel at the preset rate. If activity occurs on the priority
channel, the radio changes to the priority channel and holds for the
duration of the transmission.
To reply to a message heard on the priority channel, press the PTT
switch. The radio transmits only on the priority channel when Priority
Scan is on. Once activity has ceased on the priority channel, the radio
returns to the receive channel on the Channel Selector knob.
With Priority Scan and Channel Scan on, the radio scans until it locks on
to an active channel. The radio continues to sample the priority channel
while listening to the active channel. If activity occurs on the priority
channel, the radio overrides the active scan channel, changes to the
priority channel, and holds for the duration of the transmission.
To reply to a message heard on the priority channel, press the PTT
switch. The radio transmits only on the priority channel when Priority
Scan is on. Once activity has ceased on the priority channel, the radio
returns to Scan operation.
Change The Priority Channel
The fixed priority channel can be permanently set or can be changeable.
If the radio has a changeable priority channel, use the following steps to
make this change.
1. Turn Scan and Priority Scan off.
2. Turn the Channel Selector knob to the channel you want to enter
as the new priority channel.
3. Press and hold the PRI button for more than 1 second. A short
beep sounds and PR appears in the display, indicating that the
displayed channel is now the priority channel.
NOTE: If the radio is programmed for Dual Priority operation, only
Priority Channel 1 can be changed with the PRI button.
NOTE: A channel can be the priority channel even if it is on the scan list.
Due to multiple sampling of the same channel, however, maximum
performance occurs when the priority channel is not on the scan list.
