SCANNING
TheScanfunctionallowstheGX600Dtoscanthrough
aseriesofuserselectedchannelslookingforactivity.
Scanningisdoneinanascendingsequenceatarate
of10channelspersecond.
Channels can be selected and stored for scanning from
anyoftheavailablechannels,includingweatherchannels
(iftheUSAchannelsetisselected)andprivatechannels
(iftheyareenabled).
