Selcall Scan
If no other action is taken, i.e. the transceiver is unattended then the transceiver will
revert to scan and display the following:-
Beeping and alternating with :-
If PTT is operated or any other key, apart from the scan key, is pressed then the
transceiver will select the channel on which the selcall was received as the current
working channel and allow the operator to talk to the station calling.
Signal strength scan (SSL scan)
Voice (syllabic) scan
When a selcall signal is detected, and the channel has selcall enabled, no matter which
mute type is selected the transceiver will stop scanning and decode the selcall signal.
If the selcall was decoded for this transceiver the audio alarm will sound and the following
will be displayed:-
If the signal strength mute is active and a signal with a level greater than the pre-set
threshold is received the scan will halt. Scan will remain halted while the signal level stays
above the preset threshold. Once the signal decreases below the pre-set threshold level, for
a period greater than the scan dwell period, scanning will resume.
If the audio mute is active and the mute is opened scanning will halt. Scanning will remain
halted while the audio mute is open. Once the mute closes, for a period greater than the
scan dwell period, scanning will resume.
