UNCTIONS

Scanning consists of sequentially searching up to 15 channels for a valid signal (RF, CTCSS

or DCS tone). When found the radio will stop on that channel until the signal disappears

again.

The Microphone may need to be in the cradle, (on hook) for the radio to scan.

While listening on the channel, the User may PTT on that channel. After the signal

disappears the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time (typically 3 seconds)

before resuming scanning. PTT may be inhibited while the Mic is in cradle.

If a Priority/Emergency Channel is assigned, the radio will interleave a check of this channel

between each normal channel check. The radio may also check the Priority Channel every

few seconds while stopped on a channel. If a signal is found on the Priority Channel then the

radio will switch to that channel immediately.

If programmed, the Priority Channel is automatically selected when the Microphone is

removed from cradle.

To activate Scanning, press the SCAN Function button from the Main Channel Screen and

then select a Scan Group using the Left/Right Arrow keys or select a Scan Channel using

direct channel entry (nn#) or Left/Right Arrow keys (depending on radio configuration).

In the example below, the Scan Channel selected is 904. The Name of the Scan Channel is

Districts and the message line indicates “Scanning”.
