USING NET-SCAN
With Net-Scan mode enabled, briefly press
SCAN
. A high beep will be heard,
‘SCANNING’ will be displayed and the
icon will animate. During this time the
scan mode and the number of channels being scanned will be displayed along
with the selected Zone.
When a member of the group initiates a transmission their radio will automatically
select a clear Net-Scan channel to transmit on.
Other radios scanning in the same Net-Scan group will locate the transmission
by identifying the groups CTCSS/DCS code, pause on that channel and open their
Squelch, allowing the transmission to be heard across the entire group. When the
transmission ends, all radios in the group will immediately resume scanning.
If a member of the group responds to the initial transmission, they will
automatically re-use the same channel as long as the channel remains free of
other signals. This allows the radios in the group to respond more quickly to
further transmissions from others in the group.
If at any time a signal from outside your Net-Scan group transmits on the selected
channel without using your chosen CTCSS/DCS code, the channel will be discarded
and a new clear channel will be selected at the next transmission. The other radios
in the group will then relocate to the new channel allowing the conversation to
continue seamlessly without any input from the user.
ENDING THE SCAN
To stop scanning, briefly press
SCAN
. A low beep will be heard and the
icon
will stop animating. As long as the radio was not on a busy channel, it will return
to the last channel you selected, otherwise it will stay on the busy channel.
