6. ADVANCED
FUNCTIONS
6.1 Scanning
all
channels
Atlantic
can automatically search for signals throughout the marine band by scanning, i.e. selecting the
channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that channel and remains
blocked for five seconds before automatically begins scanning again to give you the chance to find other
communication.
Press briefly the button
MON/SCAN[18]
to start scanning:
Press again
MON/SCAN[18]
to stop scanning. Your transceiver will go back to the channel from which the
scanning originally started.
Once you are tuned in the communication you were looking for, press
PTT[11]
to talk on the selected
channel.
Atlantic
will however remain in scanning mode (which is indicated by the flashing of the channel
on the display) and it is possible to start scanning again by pressing on the scroll buttons
[19]
. If you
press
PTT[11]
during scanning you can transmit on the channel from which the scanning started. The
scroll buttons
[19]
allow you to change the direction of scanning (from lower channels to higher ones
or vice versa) and therefore to skip communications which are of no interest.
6.2 VOX Function
Atlantic
enables hands free conversations through
VOX
function. The degree of sensitivity of
VOX
function
can be adjusted to three different levels. You can enable
VOX
function with or without accessories.

by holding the transceiver on the belt you can carry on working with your hands in total freedom.
