4.12.5 Nuisance Channel Delete
With priority scanning, channels can be temporarily deleted from the scan list, for
example, if messages become annoying. This feature is not available with radio wide
scanning. Channels can also be permanently added or deleted from a scan list as described
in the next sections. Proceed as follows to temporarily delete a channel:
Note The selected channel and also conventional priority channels cannot be deleted from the
scan list.
1 While receiving a message on the channel to be deleted, press and hold the SCAN
option switch until a tone sounds (approximately 0.5 second). The channel is then
deleted and scanning of the remaining channels in the scan list resumes.
Note Pressing and holding this switch with scanning OFF may select the scan list. Refer to
Section 5.10.1 for more information.
2 Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if any of the following events occur:
- Scanning is turned OFF and then ON again using the SCAN option switch.
- Radio power is turned OFF and then ON again.
- The scan list is reselected by changing channels (SMARTNET/SmartZone) or using
the SCAN option switch (conventional).
4.13 Scan Lists
Priority and Radio Wide Scan lists can be programmed.
4.13.1 Priority Mode Scan Lists
A scan list is simply the channels that are scanned when scanning is enabled. With all
operating modes, as many priority scan lists as are required can usually be programmed
(up to 255). The only limitation is the available memory. Each list can include up to 256
channels/talk groups. More information follows on selecting and editing priority scan lists.
Note The selected channel is always scanned.
