Your XTL 1500 radio can monitor traffic on many different channels
by scanning a list containing as many as 15 conventional or trunked
modes. Up to 2 different scan lists are available per radio. A special
package configured by your service provider can allow up to a
maximum of 20 scan lists. Setting the modes to be scanned is
programmed in advance by a qualified radio technician.

• Scan lists stay in memory when you turn scan off, turn the radio
off, or disconnect the radio from the battery.
