Dual Mode Scan [DSCN]
Conventional and Trunking Channels
Dual Mode scan provides the ability to scan trunking and conventional
channels simultaneously.
NOTE: The Dual Mode Scan list must be setup using the PC Radio
Editor and cannot be changed by the radio user.
When Dual Mode Scan is turned on the
D
icon is displayed and the
radio scans all channels in the dual mode scan list.
Dual Mode Scan can be assigned to a switch or as a button or menu list
item. For best operation, Dual Mode Scan should be assigned in both
conventional and trunking global settings with the PC Radio Editor.
Enhanced Scan [ESCN]
Conventional Channels
Enhanced Scan combines Priority Scan and Channel Scan to one
switch/button. Enabling Enhanced Scan will turn on both Priority and
Channel Scan.
Priority Scan [PSCN]
Conventional Channels
Two channels can be designated as priority channels. When Priority
Scan is on, these channels are monitored for incoming traffic. When
a qualified signal is detected the speaker is opened to listen to the
message.
If a message is detected on the channel designated as Priority 2, the
radio will continue to monitor Priority 1 channel for activity. If activity is
detected the radio will switch to the Priority 1 channel.
When used in conjunction with Channel Scan, the radio monitors the
Priority channels and will switch from a scanned channel to the Priority
channel if a qualified signal is detected.
Depending on radio setup, priority channels can be tied to the currently
operating zone or can be assigned to a specific channel regardless of
the operating zone.
Channels designated as
Priority channels are identified by the
P1 or P2
symbol at the top of the LCD display. When Priority Scan is on, the
C
P
symbol will be shown.
Priority Scan operation can be assigned to a switch or as a button or a
menu list item.
Trunked Channels
When on trunked channels, Priority Scan is used to turn system
scanning on or off.
