90 Scanning
Activating standard scanning
A standard scan group scans conventional channels
(P25 and analog) from across zones, and can also
scan one or two voting groups. A standard scan group
appears and behaves on the radio like a separate
channel, and all standard scan groups are included in
the channel list. Standard scanning is activated when
you select a standard scan group.
To select a standard scan group:
1 Press Menu and select Channels .
(Depending on how your radio is programmed,
you may be able to press a function key or use the
channel selector or Quick Access menu to select
channels.)
2 Scroll to the group you want and press Select .
Activating background scanning
A background scan group scans the group members,
as well as the current channel selected on the radio.
The group member channels can include
conventional channels (P25 or analog) across zones,
and can also include one or two voting groups.
Background scanning provides more flexibility than
standard scanning, as the radio user can select a
current channel to operate on, while still monitoring
permanent group members for activity.
To turn background scanning on:
■
Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Scanning , or press the function key
programmed for background scanning.
