Scan types
Scanning is an eficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
In addition, the weather alert and auto scan functions are
available for standby convenience. These functions can be
activated simultaneously, depending on the setting in the set
mode. (pgs. 18, 19)
Set the TAG channels (scanned channels) before scanning.
Clear the TAG for unwanted channels which inconveniently
stop scanning, such as those for digital communications.
(p. 15)
Choose the desired scan type from "Priority" or "Normal"
in the set mode. (p. 18)
PRIORITY SCAN
WX*
CH 01
CH 16
CH 02
CH 05
CH 04
CH 03
Previously selected weather channel.
(when the weather alert function is activated)
*
Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in se-
quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal
disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the sig-
nal disappears.
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
CH 02
WX*
CH 05
CH 04
CH 03
Previously selected weather channel.
(when the weather alert function is activated)
*
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all TAG
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a
TAG channel.
