or

.
Turning Priority Scan Mode On or Off
While the radio is scanning, press
FUNC
, then
PRI
to toggle
Priority Scan On or Off. Priority Scan status is shown in the man
Scanning status display.
PRI

CONV Priority Scan
When Object Priority is set to Yes for one or more CONV objects,
the scanner will sample the CONV objects for activity periodically
while scanning and monitoring other objects.
This sampling will cause a brief muting of received audio when it
occurs while another object is active.
The more CONV objects are set for Priority, the longer this audio
muting will be, since it takes a certain amount of time to sample
each Priority CONV object for activity.
TGRP Priority Scan
When Object Priority is set to Yes for one or more TGRP objects,
the scanner will give those TGRPs priority over other TGRPs
while checking a particular trunking system for activity. TGRPs
configured for Priority are checked for activity before any other
TGRPs are checked, and during the reply delay time after non-
priority TGRP calls.
Additionally, your
0716
decodes the subaudible priority data
that is present on analog Motorola talkgroup calls (3600 baud
control channel systems only), and will switch to a priority
talkgroup when the data for that talkgroup is found in the
subaudible priority data.
Hit Counters
Your
0716
includes a unique Hit Counter feature that keeps
track of how many transmissions are received for each object
type. The Hit Counter for an object is incremented each time a
transmission is received on an object, making it possible for you
to determine the objects that are the least and most active.
By default, the Hit Counter feature is turned off. To turn the Hit
Counter on, press
PGM
, then the
GLOB
softkey, and use the
key to scroll down to the
Hit Counts
item. Use the
