TX6200
OVERVIEW
The TX6200 is provided with a SCAN
function to allow groups of user
programmable channels to be scanned
for signals. Channels can be scanned at
up to 25 channels per second. When a
signal is found, scanning will pause on
that channel to allow the signal to be
heard, then resume scanning when the
channel is clear again.
SCAN GROUPS
The TX6200 features two scan groups -
Open Scan and Group Scan.
Open Scan
allows any of the channels
to be scanned for activity in an ascending
sequence (i.e. from the lowest channel
to the highest). 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.
1- 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
Example: Scanning channels 1 – 8
in open scan
Group Scan
also allows any of the
channels to be scanned for activity in
an ascending sequence, but in addition,
it also 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 have priority
over any signals received on the
other channels.
Example: Scanning channels 1 – 8
with Priority Channel 20 in
Group Scan
SELECTING A SCAN GROUP
The current scan group is shown on the
display as ‘OS’ for Open Scan or ‘GS’ for
Group Scan.
To change the selected scan group,
briefly press the
F
key followed
immediately by the
OS/GS
key. A beep
will be heard and the display will
change to reflect the scan group
you have selected.
PROGRAMMING SCAN
CHANNELS
Your TX6200 is supplied with all 80 UHF
CB channels programmed into the Open
Scan memory. Any channels not needed
can be removed if required.
The Group Scan memory is empty
by default and you will need to add
channels to it before use.
To add or remove channels from either
scan memory:
1. Check that the radio is not already
scanning. If it is, briefly press the
SCAN
key to cancel the scan function.
2. Select the required scan group
by pressing the
F
key followed
