CHANNEL SCAN
28
•
Before scanning resumes, exit the scan mode by pressing the SCAN
option switch. The channel of the call then becomes the selected
channel and it is not necessary to change it manually.
Note that with this configuration programmed, when a call is
received on a channel other than the selected, the display does not indi-
cate the channel of a transmission until scanning resumes.
Last Received - The selected channel changes to that of a call. Therefore,
you can always respond to a call without having to manually change the
channel. To return to the previously selected channel, it must be manually
selected using the CHL up/down switches.
Temporary Last Received - The channel changes to that of a call for
only the duration of the scan delay period described on page 27. Then
when the delay expires and scanning resumes (if not disabled, for
example, by taking the microphone off-hook), the selected channel is
again displayed. Therefore, you can respond to a call without changing
the selected channel as long as you do so before scanning resumes.
Fixed Transmit While Scanning
The transceiver can be programmed so that transmissions made
while scanning is occurring take place on a preprogrammed channel.
Note that the transmitter must be keyed with scanning occurring. Since
taking the microphone off-hook normally halts scanning, the transmitter
may have to be keyed with the microphone on-hook (unless off-hook
detection is disabled by programming). This feature also changes the
selected channel if it is used. If the transmitter is keyed with scanning
halted or if this feature is not enabled, the programming described in the
preceding section is in effect.
