Open Scan
Allows any of the installed channels to be scanned for activity.
If a busy channel is found, scanning will pause to allow the
signal to be heard. Once the channel has been clear for 5
seconds, scanning will resume automatically.

Also allows any of the installed channels to be scanned for
activity, but in addition, it inserts your Priority Channel into
the scan sequence. This means that your Priority Channel will
be monitored regularly while scanning to ensure that no calls
are missed. Any signals received on your Priority Channel
will take precedence over any signals received on the other
channels.
