Scan
The radio has a scanning function for tagged voice channels. Any SSB voice
channel can be tagged and added to the scanning sequence. In scan mode
MULTI, the tagged SSB voice channels and the DSC channel are watched in
turn (SSB voice — DSC — SSB voice 2 — DSC — etc). If a signal is received while
in MULTI scanning mode, the DSC channel continues to be watched.
If there is a signal in one of the scanned channels, the display shows the
channel in which the signal is received. If PTT is pressed while scanning, the
scanning stops, the radio is tuned into the displayed channel and transmission
starts immediately on the displayed working channel.
