3-8. USING THE SCAN MODE

The Scan mode is available only when ALE is turned off by selecting NONE on MENU > PROG >

RAD > OPTS > ALE.

In the Scan mode, Micom scans preprogrammed channels. In addition, when a guard channel is

selected, it is monitored after every other scanned channel.

The channels used in the Scan mode are organized in groups (you can use the Scan function only after

at least one group has been downloaded by means of the MRC). Up to five scan groups, identified as

A to E, may be created using the MRC, each containing up to 200 channels.

3-8.1 Selecting the Scan Mode

1. Press MENU to display the Menu screen.

2. Press SCAN. The last used group flashes in the display.

NOTE

If no scan group is stored in the radio, after selecting

Scan you will see NO GROUPS, and then the display

skips to the PROG menu.

NOTES

• In the Scan mode, one of the five groups is always selected, and

the other groups (up to 4) are displayed next to the function keys.

• If the selected group is not yet programmed, the message GRP X

EMPTY appears in the display, where X is the selected group.
