Scanning a group of talkgroups

The scan feature is used to monitor a group of trunked
talkgroups for activity. Each group of talkgroups is
programmed as a single scan group.

When there is a call from a member of the talkgroup
scan group, the radio unmutes and you can hear the
call. Calls from talkgroups programmed as ‘priority’
talkgroups, take precedence over those from a non-
priority talkgroup.

While the radio is scanning for activity, the amber LED
glows and

appears in the display. When the radio

stops on a talkgroup where there is activity, the amber
LED and

symbol flash.

Activating talkgroup scanning

Talkgroup scan is turned on using a programmed
function key. When the function key activates
talkgroup scan, the currently selected talkgroup
automatically becomes a member of the talkgroup
scan group.

To turn talkgroup scan on:

■

Press the function key.
