PrioritY sCan [PsCn]
Conventional Channels
Two channels can be designated as priority channels. When Priority Scan is on, these channels are
monitored for incoming traffic. When a qualified signal is detected the speaker is opened to listen to
the message.
If a message is detected on the channel designated as Priority 2, the radio will continue to monitor
Priority 1 channel for activity. If activity is detected the radio will switch to the Priority 1 channel.
When used in conjunction with Channel Scan, the radio monitors the Priority channels and will
switch from a scanned channel to the Priority channel if a qualified signal is detected.
Depending on radio setup, priority channels can be tied to the currently operating zone or
can be assigned to a specific channel regardless of the operating zone.
Channels designated as Priority channels are identified by the P1 or P2 symbol at the top of the
LCD display. When Priority Scan is on, the
C
P
symbol will be shown.
Priority Scan operation can be a switch or as a button or menu list item.
Trunked Channels
When on trunked channels, Priority Scan is used to turn system scanning on or off.
