Scan frequencies
When a scan is started, the system is ready to receive telex messages on
the selected scan frequencies. The MF/HF radio scans every listed channel
for 3 seconds. If no traffic is detected, it continues to the next channel.
The scan list in the SAILOR MF/HF System 6000B Radiotelex always shows
the current telex frequency of the connected MF/HF radio (indicated with
“MF/HF radio”). In addition, you can add other telex frequencies that you
want the system to scan. See
Edit the scan list on page 31.
To start a frequency scan, do as follows:
1. From the main menu, select
Scan
.
2. To scan the frequencies shown, select
Start scan
.
The Message Terminal informs the MF/HF radio to scan for the selected
frequencies. The status field in the top right corner shows Scanning.
3. To stop scanning, select
Stop scan
.
Note If the system is in DSC subsequent communication mode, only
the frequency assigned by the MF/HF radio is scanned.
