Activating in-zone scanning
An in-zone scan group scans the first 50 conventional
channels (P25 or analog) or trunked talkgroups from
the currently-selected zone. If you change zones, the
radio stops scanning the previous zone’s channels
and automatically starts scanning channels from the
new zone.
In-zone scanning is useful when scanning
conventional channels and trunked talkgroups from
within the selected zone, and zones are used to
separate different geographic regions or work roles.
As you change to a new region or role, you can
change to another zone and the radio will
automatically start scanning channels or talkgroups in
the new zone, with no further action required.
To turn in-zone scanning on:
■ Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Scanning, or press the function key
programmed for in-zone scanning.
In-zone scanning remains on until you either press
the function key again, or select a standard,
background or talkgroup scan group.
