Priority Scan

Use scan to monitor channels and codes for transmissions or to find
someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels.
With priority scan, your home channel is scanned more frequently than
any other channel. The home channel is the channel where your radio
was set when you started to scan. If you activate scan while your
radio’s Interference Eliminator Code is set to a number between 1 and
121, the radio checks for activity on each programmed channel and
code combination.

Notes:

•  The default code for each channel is 1.
•  If scanning on code 0, all channels and code combinations are

scanned.

VOX is turned on, the radio detects your voice and transmits when you

speak.

port.

when the radio transmits. There is a short delay before the
transmission is completed.

back on. Or just repeat step 2 and step 3.

home channel is the channel your radio was set to when you started
the scanning.

QT Noise Filtering

The QT noise-filtering feature helps to ensure uninterrupted
communication with other Motorola radios that have this feature. This
feature filters out unwanted transmissions from other radios. This is

transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24
hours a day.
