SCAN OPERATION
■
Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan and
a normal scan.
Set the tag channels (channels to be scanned) before scan-
ning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scan-
ning, such as those used for digital communications.
NOTE:
Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 13)
PRIORITY SCAN
Priority scan searches through all tag channels in se-
quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de-
tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal
disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal
disappears.

NORMAL SCAN
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Chan-
nel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a tag
channel.
