5.13 Scan Lists
Priority and Radio Wide Scan lists can be programmed.
5.13.1 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/talkgroups. More information follows on selecting and editing priority scan lists.
Note The selected channel is always scanned.
5.13.1.1 Determining Channels in Priority Scan List
Channels in the conventional priority scan lists are determined as follows. Channels in the
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked priority scan lists are indicated only when editing a
list (see “Editing a Priority Scan List”).
1 Enable Priority scanning as described in Section 5.12.1. Also select the scan list if
applicable as described in the following “Selecting a Priority Scan List” description.
2 Select the desired zone and then scroll through the channels by rotating the Select
switch. When the displayed channel is in the scan list (scanned normally), the
symbol is displayed next to the zone number as shown in the following illustration.
