The display indicates scan operation by flashing SCN.
Scan operates only while the radio is not transmitting. The radio checks for
signals on channels in the preset Scan List, as well as the channel selected by
the Channel Selector knob.
When a signal is detected, scanning stops and the message is received. The
received channel is shown in place of the selected channel.
Once the signal ends, the radio continues to monitor the channel for the preset
scan delay time before it resumes scanning.
