Activating background scanning
A background scan group scans the group members,
as well as the current channel selected on the radio.
The group member channels can include
conventional channels (P25 or analog) across zones,
and can also include one or two voting groups.
Background scanning provides more flexibility than
standard scanning, as the radio user can select a
current channel to operate on, while still monitoring
permanent group members for activity.
To turn background scanning on:
■ Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Scanning, or press the function key
programmed for background scanning.
Background scanning remains on until you either
press the function key again, or select a standard,
in-zone or talkgroup scan group.
Changing the background scan group
assigned to the function key
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Set scan key.
2 Scroll through the list of background scan groups
available and press Select. When you next turn on
background scanning, this is the scan group that is
activated.
