Radio-wide Features
4.10 Scan Lists
4.10.1 Priority Scan Lists
Note
The selected channel is always scanned.
A scan list is simply the channels that are scanned when scanning is enabled. With all
operating modes, as many priority scan lists as are required can usually be programmed
(up to 256). The only limitation is the available memory. Each scan list can include up to
512 channels/talk groups. More information on selecting and editing priority scan lists
follows.
4.10.1.1 Determining Channels in Priority Scan List
The channels in conventional priority scan lists are indicated by selecting the scan mode as
follows. Channels in SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked priority scan lists are
indicated only when editing a scan list (see “Editing a Priority Scan List” which follows).
1
Enable priority scanning using the Scan switch or menu parameter. Also select the scan
list if applicable as described in the following “Selecting a Priority Scan List”
description.
2
Select the desired zone and then scroll through the channels by rotating the channel
switch. When the displayed channel is in the scan list (scanned normally), the
icon is displayed.
4.10.1.2 Selecting a Priority Scan List
Note
Only priority scan lists are selectable.
Conventional Channels - Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list
that is normally selected by all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable
option to slave a particular conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default
list for all conventional channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming). This
slave feature is programmed on the Edit Zone screen.
If the Scan (List) Select option switch or menu parameter is programmed, the default list
selected by all conventional channels (even those belonging to slaved zones) is
temporarily changed. The preceding default scan lists are automatically reselected
whenever radio power is cycled.
