Channel Scan List [SCN+]
Conventional Channels
The Channel Scan List allows the radio user to add or remove channels
from the list of channels to be monitored while channel scanning.
Channels designated as scan channels are identified by the
symbol
at the top of the LCD display.
The Scan List operation can be assigned as a button or menu list item.
To edit the Channel Scan list, select the channel you wish to add or
remove from the scan list. Press "+/-" to add or remove. Channels in the
scan list will be indicated with the
symbol.
If Vote Scan option is installed, pressing the "+/-" button will cycle the
scan setting for the selected channel through checked (for scan on),
"(V)" for Vote Scan, and Off.
When assigned as a menu item, open the menu and select the channel
you wish to add or remove from the scan list. Press “+/-” to add or
remove. Channels in the scan list will be indicated with the
symbol.
Talkback Scan
Conventional and Trunking Channels
If your radio is programmed for Talkback Scan, any PTT transmission
that occurs while a channel is active or while scan hold time remains,
will be on the transmit frequency of the received channel. The ‘RX’
indicator will be shown in the display while scan hold time remains.
Talkback Scan will not work if Priority Scan is on and your radio is also
programmed to transmit on the Priority 1 channel (see Priority Scan).
Vote Scan [Requires Option KZA0581]
Conventional Channels
Channels in a multicast conventional systems can be added to the scan
list and designated as “voted” channels. When a signal is received on
a voted channel the radio checks all voted channels in the vote scan
group and selects the channel with the best signal.
If enabled, vote scanning takes place whenever the channel scan
switch in on.
NOTE: Channel voting occurs only with Channel Scan and is disabled
when Zone Scanning. Channels programmed as Vote channels are
treated as normal scan list channels during Zone Scan operation.
Vote Scan groups can only be created in the PC Radio Editor.
