RADIO WIDE FEATURES
22
may contain up to 16 channels of any type assigned to
any zone (see Section 4.12.2). Radio wide scanning is
turned on and off by the
RWS
option switch as
follows. If this switch is not programmed, radio wide
scanning is not available.
•
To turn radio wide scanning on, press the
RWS
option switch and “RW SCN ON” is briefly
displayed. In addition,
is displayed the same as
with priority scanning.
•
To turn radio wide scanning off, press the
RWS
option switch again and “RW SCN OFF” is briefly
displayed and
is no longer displayed.
•
If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide
scanning, scanning continues normally.
4.11.4 SCAN HOLD TIME
When a message is received or transmitted while
scanning, there is a delay before scanning resumes.
The delay after receiving a call prevents another
message from being received before a response can be
made. The delay after transmitting a call ensures that a
response is heard instead of another message occurring
on some other channel.
Separate delay times are programmable for radio
wide and priority scanning. With radio wide and
conventional priority scanning, delays of 0-7.5
seconds are programmable in 0.5-second steps. With
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked priority
scanning, a scan delay of 2-10 seconds can be
programmed in 0.5-second steps. The radio wide time
is programmed on the Radio Wide screen and the
Priority time is programmed on the applicable Per
System screen.
4.11.5 TRANSMITTING IN THE SCAN MODE
Priority Scan Mode
When the transmitter is keyed while scanning is
enabled, the transmission may occur on various
channels as follows.
Conventional Operation -
Transmissions can be
programmed to always occur on the priority,
selected, or receive channel (if applicable). Refer to
Section 5.11 for more information.
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked
Operation -
If scanning is halted to receive a
message, programming determines if transmis-
sions occur on the selected or active channel.
Transmissions at other times occur on the selected
channel.
Radio Wide Scan Mode
The radio can be programmed to transmit on the
selected or active channel similar to SMARTNET/
SmartZone and P25 trunked operation just described.
4.11.6 NUISANCE CHANNEL DELETE
With priority scanning, channels can be tempo-
rarily deleted from the scan list, for example, if
messages become annoying. This feature is not avail-
able with radio wide scanning. Channels can also be
permanently added or deleted from a scan list as
described in the next sections. Proceed as follows to
temporarily delete a channel:
NOTE: The selected channel and also conventional
priority channels cannot be deleted from the scan list.
1. While receiving a message on the channel to be
deleted, press and hold the SCAN option switch
until a tone sounds (approximately 2 seconds). The
channel is then deleted and scanning of the
remaining channels in the scan list resumes.
NOTE:
Pressing and holding this switch on a conventional
channel with scanning off may select the scan list.
Refer to Section 5.11.2 for more information.
2. Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if
any of the following events occur:
•
Scanning is turned off and then on again using the
SCAN option switch.
•
Radio power is turned off and then on again.
•
The scan list is reselected by changing channels
(SMARTNET/SmartZone) or using the SCAN
option switch (conventional).
