Operating in the Group Scan mode
In Group Scan mode, the TX6600PRO scans all the channels programmed into the
Group Scan memory with the selected Priority Channel being scanned every fifth
channel.
If a signal is heard on a scan channel, the scan will pause on that channel and
remain there while the channel is busy and for 5 seconds after it has become clear,
as long as there are no signals on the selected Priority Channel. During this time
the receiver will continue to check the Priority Channel for signals once a second,
resulting in a series of small ‘breaks’ in the reception of the scan channel. Once
the signal has gone, the radio will resume scanning.
If a signal appears on the Priority Channel at any time (even when paused on a
scan channel) the receiver will switch straight to the Priority Channel. If you were
listening to a signal on the scan channel at the time, the radio will beep to alert
you to the change in channel. It will then stay on the Priority Channel for as long
as it is busy. During this time you can transmit on the Priority Channel in the usual
way. Once the activity on the Priority Channel has ceased for 5 seconds, the radio
will resume scanning the other channels.
