Repeater search scan
The Repeater search scan is used not only to search for
a signal on the repeater channels, but also to access a
repeater by automatically transmitting in sequence. The
Repeater search function detects repeaters that can be
accessed in the area, even if the repeater is not used.
The Repeater search scan detects signals only on the Channels 1
to 8* and 41 to 48. Therefore, the repeater cannot be guaranteed
even though the Repeater scan is stopped, because the scan
will stop if any activity is detected. (The scan is cancelled while
receiving a signal, such as stations communicating in Simplex
operation on a repeater output channel.)
*Does not include the emergency repeater ‘RPT05.’
