Enhanced Scanning
The radio allows you to set the following parameters for scanning:
Type: The radio can be set to scan either Digital channels or Analog Channels. The type
is set by the channel you are on. If you are on an analog channel it will only scan analog
channels. If you are on a digital channel, you will only scan digital channels.
Min Frequency: This is the frequency the radio starts scanning. Scanning is from the
minimum frequency to the maximum frequency. We will set the default in the UHF version
to 420 MHz and the VHF version to 144 MHz.
Max Frequency: This is the frequency it stops scanning. We will set the default in the UHF
version to 450 MHz and the VHF version to 147.99 MHz.
Channel Spacing. This is the spacing between channels. In HF radios there is often
continuous tuning. At the VHF and UHF bands, the tuning is channelized because the
hardware is designed to only work with either 12.5 KHz spacing or 25KHz spacing. We set
the default in this radio to 12.5 KHz.
Enhanced Scanning Button: This defines which button is used to start the scanning mode.
We set the default to the top button and quick press.
To start the Enhanced scanning mode, press the appropriate button and you will get a
screen on the radio as shown below.
