Scan Modes
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a
number of channels or channels within a Group. Your Dealer will help you
define a scanning mode and your channel "scan list" .
Normal Channel Scan
Once the scan list has been established you can initiate scan by press and
release of scan button, first button located beneath the PTT button. The top
panel LED can be programmed to flash green as the radiois scanning.
If a conversation is detected on any of the channels in the scan list, the radio
will stop on that channel and you will be able to hear the conversation. If
programmed for normal scan TX you will be able to transmit on that active
channel during the pro-grammable scan delay time. The scan delay time is the
amount of time the radio will stay on that channel once activity has ceased
(Dealer programmable, 4-7seconds is typical). The radio will resume scanning
once the scan delay time has expired. Scanning will continue until the channel
is changed.
Priority Channel Scan
A single channel may be programmed as the "Priority" channel. The radio will
constantly monitor this channel while scanning and when the radio has
stopped on an active channel. If a call is detected on the "Priority" channel, the
radio will automatically move to, and remain on, the "Priority" channel for as
long as the priority conversation takes place. "Priority" channel activity
takes precedence over all other conversations. To activate Priority scan press
and release the scan button, first button beneath the PTT button. When priority
scan has been activated display will show PS to indicate priority scan has been
activated. ( Remove)
Other Scanning Features
ยท Look Back: Any channel, when not in the scan mode, can be programmed to
"look back" at the "Priority" channel. (Remove) This feature is ideal for those
who do not need scan as defined above, but want to make sure that they never
miss a call on the "Priority" channel if another channel has been selected.
Once a "look back" (Remove) channel other than the priority channel has been
selected, the radio will periodically "look back" at the Priority" channel. If
