Using Scan
Toggle scan on or off by pressing SCAN. The
"SCN" status flag turns on when the radio is
scanning.
If programmed for dual-priority scan opera-
tion, the priority-one, priority-two and the remain-
ing channels will be scanned. Once a carrier is
detected and if programmed, the correct Channel
Guard is decoded, the display will indicate the
channel. Scanning of the priority-one and prior-
ity-two channels will continue. Should a priority-
one or two channel carrier, regardless of Channel
Guard, be detected while a non-priority channel
is being received, the display name is updated,
the applicable status indicator, "1" or "2" lights,
and the channel is switched to the priority channel.
Scanning of the priority-one channel will continue
if a message is being received on the priority-two
channel.
If programmed for non-priority scan opera-
tion, once a carrier is detected, and if pro-
grammed, the correct Channel Guard is decoded,
the display will indicate the detected channel.
Scanning will stop and the radio will remain on the
channel until the carrier ceases. Scanning will
then resume with the selected channel’s name
displayed.
