Scanning
The UH8080S’ Scanning feature allows you to search for active channels automatically.
There are 3 scanning modes;
Open Scan (OS),
Group Scan (GS) and
Master Scan (M.SCN) (a special case of Group Scan).
During SCAN the UH8080S only checks channels or frequencies that are in the SCAN
Memory, which are indicated by the M (memory) icon. The UH8080S maintains two
SCAN Memories; one for Open Scan (OS) mode and the other for Group Scan (GS)
mode, to give you flexibility and allow you to use the radio more effectively.
NOTE
Group Scan and Master Scan modes share the same SCAN Memory.
Furthermore, any combination of the three channel groups can be scanned by pressing
[POLICE] during scan (except Master Scan) to select the desired channel groups.
1. Press [SCAN] to start Scanning.
2. The SCAN icon appears.
3. The scan direction can be changed at any time by pressing

4. Press [SCAN] to stop Scanning.

MASTER SCAN is the default scan mode and is enabled to allow continual communi-
cation across congested channels.
Master Scan scans channels stored into GS Memory and only opens the squelch for
signals with the correct subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).
To achieve this, all radios in your group must have the same channels in GS memory
(group channels) and use the same Subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).
By scanning only group channels, radios in the network will be able to detect and
