Radio wide scanning monitors the channels in the preprogrammed

Scan Resume Delay
When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a
system operator programmed delay before scanning resumes. The delay
after receiving a call prevents another message from being received
before you can make a response, and the delay after transmitting a call
ensures that you hear a response to your call instead of another message
occurring on some other channel.
Transmitting in the Scan Mode
If the transmitter is keyed while scanning is enabled, the transmis-
sion may occur on the receive, selected, or priority channel depending on
the operating mode and programming.
