VI. CTCSS Tone Signaling
To help block out unwanted calls to your radio, the
PL2445 and PL2415 can be programmed by your radio
communications Dealer to scan for tones.
VII. Radio Functions
Scan Modes
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows
you to monitor a number of channels or channels
within a Group. Your Dealer will help you define a
scanning mode and your channel "scan list".
Normal Channel Scan
Once the scan list has been established, initiate
scan by pressing and holding the monitor button
and rotating the channel selector knob to the “scan
enable” channel. The LED will blink green to
confirm radio scanning.
If a conversation is detected on any of the channels
in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel
and you will be able to hear the conversation. In
normal scan, you will be able to transmit on that
active channel during the programmable scan delay
time. (The scan delay time is the amount of time
the radio will stay on that channel once activity has
ceased. Dealer programmable, 4 - 7 seconds is
typical).
