Scanning

Objects and Scan Lists

Instead of channels and banks, scannable objects

are assigned Object IDs and assigned to scan lists.

The number of objects that can be grouped in a

particular scan list is not limited, and objects can be

assigned to multiple scan lists.

When programmed, your scanner provides two

basic functions for scanning radio transmissions:

• Monitoring – Listening to a single object.

• Scanning – Checking multiple saved objects,

stopping when a transmission is detected.

Additionally, you can combine different object types

in any scan list, including a mix of trunked talkgroups

and conventional frequencies. By default, every new

object you create is mapped to Scan List 01.

NOTE: Objects are not moved into scan list(s).

Instead, objects are mapped to scan lists, so that a

single object can be assigned to multiple scan lists

without using any additional scanner memory.

Your scanner provides 20 standard scan lists, one

Favorites scan list, and a Skywarn® scan list.

TIP: Consider how you plan to organize your objects

for scanning. You can organize your scan lists

geographically, assigning objects for your location in

one list and objects for other locations in different

lists. You can organize your scan lists by trunking

system, assigning TGRP objects associated with

specific trunked radio systems to separate lists.

You can also organize your scan lists by object type,

assigning CONV objects to one list and TGRP objects

to another.
