Programming channels into Net-Scan.
All radios in your net-scan group must have the
same channels programmed into their net-scan
memory. Your radio’s net-scan memory has already
been factory programmed with 43 of the available
80 channels. the remaining 37 channels, which
consist of the 32 repeater input/output channels,
2 telemetry channels and 3 guard-band channels,
have not been included to minimise the risk of
interference to other services on these channels.

currently programmed into the Net-Scan
group

press the
MENU
key. ‘

IMPORTANT:
when adding channels to net-scan,
please consider the following:
• The transmitter on your radio is inhibited on
channels 22, 23 and channels 61, 62, 63
as required by the AcmA. this makes these
channels unsuitable for use as net-scan channels.
• You should not include any repeater channels
unless you have confirmed that the channel is not
allocated to a repeater in your area. If you add
an active repeater channel into your net-scan,
you or others in your net-scan group may cause
interference to other repeater users on that
channel.
