The SCN status flag will come on. To turn off the
scanning function, press the button and the SCN
status flag will go off.
Receiver Scan Rate
Scan rate will vary depending upon the number of
channels on the scan list and whether scanning for
Channel Guard. Fewer channels on the scan list or not
scanning for Channel Guard will result in a faster scan
rate.
There are three types of Scan condition: simple
scan, priority scan and Channel Guard scan.
When Scan function is turned on, the radio will
perform a simple scan on all channels on the scan list
plus the channel selected by the CHANNEL SELECT
switch although that channel may not be on the scan
list. Once activity is detected (and if programmed, the
correct Channel Guard is decoded) on a channel, the
radio changes the scanning mode from simple scan to
priority scan. The channel with activity will be indicated
