Hunt Mode
Description
Operation
Background Hunt
This feature allows an idle radio to keep detecting the
signal strength of the BS with which it registers. If the
signal strength goes below the threshold level preset by
the dealer, the radio will automatically hunt for an
adjacent BS with stronger signal strength and register
with it.

Home Station Hunt
In a BS overlapping area, this feature allows the radio to
switch back to the home station channel when its signal
strength reaches the preset threshold. It is recommended
that you set your frequently used channel as the home
station channel.
Handover
The signal strength received from a BS may fluctuate due
to position change, affecting the communication quality
of the radio. On such occasions, this feature allows the
radio to automatically register with the BS with stronger
signal.
Vote Now
This feature allows an idle radio to check the signal
strength of the BS assigned in a broadcast call, and decide
whether to register with the BS.
This feature is enabled by default.
8.5 Positioning
The Positioning feature allows you to collect the position information of the radio through satellites.
This feature applies only to radios with GPS, BDS, or GLONASS.
