Radio Firmware Features
6.2 Default Status Check (DSC)
You can pre-set the volume selector knob to a desired volume level (0
to 10). You can also pre-set the channel selector knob to a desired
channel via the CPS. When DSC feature is enabled, the DSC
indicator (located beneath the power button) blinks orange when the
position of volume selector knob and/or channel selector knob are
different than the pre-set position (desired position). The DSC
indicator will stop blinking when you successfully sets this to the
programmed position.
7.0 Scan Feature
Scan feature allows you to listen for activity on more than one
conventional channel. The lists of channels that the radio scans and
other parameters associated with scan are specified by a Scan List.
When you press the ‘Scan’ PF button, the radio rapidly moves
through the members of the Scan List looking for activity that would
normally cause the speaker to unmute. The radio unmutes when
such activity are detected. When both Tx and Rx activity has ceased
for the time, the radio will return to the active scan state.
The scan mode can be stop by pressing the assigned ‘Scan’ PF
button again if the Group Scan feature is disabled.
7.1 Dual Watch
This feature is similar to the Scan feature, but Dual Watch only
monitors the current Operating Channel and the Priority Channel. The
radio will scan the two channels when you press the assigned ‘Dual
Watch’ PF button. It pauses each time it finds a channel on which
someone is speaking. You can stop the Dual Watch feature by
pressing the assigned PF button again. The operation will revert to
the channel to which the channel selector knob is set.
