Last active (floating)  programming allows you to respond
(transmit) to an incoming call during Scan mode without
having to press the SYStem or GRouP keys.

"Home" System and Group

The "Home" System and Group are the System and Group
in which you require priority to transmit on. This is usually
the System and Group on which you will receive and
transmit most of your calls.

When you press the P-T-T button during scanning (i.e. "IN
SCAN" appears in the display) your TP-4800 Series radio
will always transmit on the "Home" System and Group. This
applies whether scanning has stopped for an incoming call or
not.

Scan Resume Delay

After a message is received or transmitted in the "Scan"
mode, there is a delay period of 1-7 seconds before scanning
resumes. The exact length of this delay is programmed
by your Dealer. When a message is received, this delay
allows you to respond without having to change the selected
System and Group. If you do not respond until after scan-
ning resumes (the words "IN SCAN" reappear in display),
another call may be received and the response may not
occur on the desired System or Group.

NOTE: If a "Home" System and Group is programmed for
scanning, then the above Scan Resume Delay does not allow
you to respond to the incoming call . Your transmission will
always be on your programmed "Home" System and Group.
