To activate Scanning, select a channel that has been programmed as a Scan channel.
Once selected, the scanning will either start automatically, if programmed, or the
programmed scan function button will need to be pressed. (FPP configurable).
While listening on the channel, the user is able to PTT on that channel. After the signal
disappears, the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time (FPP
configurable, typically 4 seconds for scanning and 2 seconds for voting) before
resuming scanning.
A Priority Channel may only be assigned to a Scan group.
If a Priority Channel is assigned to Scan mode, the radio will interleave a check of this
channel between each normal Scan channel. The radio may also check the Priority
Channel every few seconds while stopped on a channel. If a signal is found on the
Priority Channel then the radio will switch to that channel immediately.
5.10.1. Scan/Voting Screen
A Scan can be started by:
1. Pressing the function key that has been assigned the scan function by the FPP;
or
2. Selecting a zone channel that has been assigned to automatically scan by the
FPP; or
3. Selecting the SCAN ON option under the ‘User Options’ menu.
The top line of the display still shows the name of the current selected channel. The
second line of the display shows the name of the current selected zone while
scanning/voting.
The Channel can be changed by using the
▼
and
▲
keys. Other channels may be
either Scan or Normal channels, depending on the radio’s configuration.
Scanning is indicated by a rotating arrow symbol.
When scanning stops on a channel, on the screen, the second line from the top shows
the name of the channel from the scan group that the radio has stopped on. If stopped
on a channel, that channel can be “skipped” by pressing the programmed skip function
key. Once a channel is “skipped” it will not be scanned for the duration that
Zone/Channel selection.
When transmitting on a channel, the second line of the display shows the name of the
current channel that the radio is transmitting on.
