SCAN OPERATION

■
Repeater search scan
The repeater search scan not only searches for a signal on
the repeater channels, but also access a repeater by trans-
mitting automatically in sequence.
Thus the repeater search scan function searches for available
repeater in the area even if the repeater is not currently in use.
The repeater search scan detects a signal on the re-
peater output channels (CB-R1 to CB-R8)* only. There-
fore, repeater availability cannot be guaranteed even the
repeater scan is stopped, because the scan will stop if
any activity is detected. (The scan is cancelled when re-
ceiving a signal, such as stations communicating in sim-
plex operation on a repeater output channel.)
*Excludes Emergency Repeater ‘CB-R5.’
