Radio Wide Features
Note
Use radio wide scanning only if two different types of channels need to be scanned at the
same time such as conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone. Otherwise, use the more
efficient priority scanning because there is less chance of missed calls.
• To turn radio wide scanning on, press the RWS option switch and “RW SCN ON” is
briefly displayed. In addition, is displayed along with an R in the left Status position.
• To turn radio wide scanning OFF, press the RWS option switch again and “RW SCN
OFF” is briefly displayed and with R is no longer displayed.
• If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide scanning, scanning continues
normally.
4.12.3 Scan Hold Time
When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a delay before
scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents another message from being
received before a response can be made. The delay after transmitting a call ensures that a
response is heard instead of another message occurring on some other channel.
Separate delay times are programmable for radio wide and priority scanning. With radio
wide and conventional priority scanning, delays of 0-7.5 seconds are programmable in
0.5-second steps. With SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked priority scanning, a
scan delay of 2-10 seconds can be programmed in 0.5-second steps. The radio wide time is
programmed on the Radio Wide screen and the Priority time is programmed on the
applicable Per System screen.
4.12.4 Transmitting in the Scan Mode
Priority Scan Mode - When the transmitter is keyed while scanning is enabled, the
transmission may occur on various channels as follows.
Conventional Operation - Transmissions can be programmed to always occur on
the priority, selected, or receive channel (if applicable). Refer to Section 5.10 for
more information.
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Operation - If scanning is halted to
receive a message, programming determines if transmissions occur on the selected or
active channel. Transmissions at other times occur on the selected channel.
Radio Wide Scan Mode - The radio can be programmed to transmit on the selected or
active channel similar to SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operation just
described.
