Conventional Mode Features
5.9.5 Emergency Talkgroup
A user may program an Emergency Talkgroup. If Emergency is activated, the radio uses
the Emergency Talkgroup instead of the programmed talkgroup. If programmed, the
Emergency Talkgroup has priority. Please refer to 5.13.7.1, “Talkgroup Lock” for more
information about this feature.
5.10 Conventional Mode Scanning
Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 4.11
and 4.11.5. The following information describes features unique to conventional
operation.
5.10.1 Selecting a Scan List
Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list that is normally selected by
all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable option to slave a particular
conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default list for all conventional
channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming). This slave feature is
programmed.
The default scan list (which is to be used by all conventional channels except those
belonging to slaved zones), can be temporarily changed by using the SCAN option switch
or menu parameters. A scan list selected in this manner is retained through radio power
down.
Currently if the user presses and holds the Scan button, the Scan List Select feature is
activated. This function may be disabled on a per-system basis by programming.
5.10.2 Transmitting in Scan Mode
Each conventional scan list can be programmed for one of the following modes. These
modes determine if priority sampling occurs and also the channel on which transmissions
occur while scanning. Refer to the next section for more information on priority sampling.
No Priority - No priority channel sampling occurs when the list is selected. The radio
transmits on the selected channel.
Priority on Selected - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel is programmed
in the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the selected channel if selected group is
