If there are less than two channels programmed into the Scan memory
when you press the
SCAN
OS/GS
key, an error beep will be heard and
SCANERROR
will be
displayed.
Operating in the Open Scan mode
If a busy channel is found, the scan will pause on that channel to allow the signal
to be heard and will remain there for as long as the channel remains busy and for
5 seconds after it has cleared. The scan will then resume automatically.
To temporarily remove a constantly busy channel from the scan group, use the
keys to activate the
Auto Skip
feature.
Transmitting while scanning
Press the
PTT
key while scanning to talk on your working channel (displayed at
the bottom of the LCD). When the
PTT
key is released, scan will resume after the
channel has had 5 seconds of inactivity.
Press the
PTT
key while the scan is paused on a busy channel to talk on the busy
channel. The busy channel then becomes your new working channel which will be
displayed on the bottom of the LCD.
If your radio is scanning and you need to use your Priority Channel (for an urgent
call or an emergency), briefly press the
PRI1
or
PRI2
keys. The scan will be
cancelled, and the radio will jump straight to the selected Priority Channel.
GROUP SCAN MODE
Group Scan allows you to scan several channels for activity while also monitoring
your selected Priority Channel every fifth channel. The receiver will continue to
scan the other channels only while there are no signals on the Priority Channel. If
a signal appears on the Priority Channel it will override any signals being received
on any of the other channels. In addition, if you press the PTT key at any time, the
radio will always transmit on the Priority Channel.
NOTE: If there are less than two channels programmed into the Scan memory when you press the
key, an error beep will be heard and
SCAN Err will be displayed.
