SCAN OPERATION

Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and
Normal scan.
When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the previously
selected (last used) weather channel is also checked while
scanning. (p. 45)
Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear any TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as those for digital communication use. (Refer to the
next page for details.)
Choose Priority or Normal scan in the Set mode. (p. 45)
PRIORITY SCAN
WX*
CH 01
CH 16
CH 02
CH 05
CH 04
CH 03
*When the weather alert function is activated.
Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in se-
quence, while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal
disappears. When a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the sig-
nal disappears.
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
CH 02
WX*
CH 05
CH 04
CH 03
*When the weather alert function is activated.
Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all TAG
channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a
TAG channel.
