Scanning channels
Your 75-440 has three types of scanning available. The most used is
Normal Scan
. This allows you to
scan all the channels you have designated in your scan list (see Creating Scan List). The next is scan with
a
Priority
channel (channel 1). This scan allows you to monitor channel 1 more often than the other
channels while scanning (for this scan to work properly you must have at least 6 channels in the scan list).
The third scan type is
Dual Watch
. This allows you to scan the priority channel and a channel of your
choice. You must have more than one channel programmed in the scan list in order for your 75-440 to
scan them. The advanced scan function of the radio allows optionally looking for carrier or carrier with
“CTCSS”
or
“DCS
.

“
CALL
”
+
key is pressed, no channel will be scrolled in the display. At least two channels must be in
the Scan List for the Unit to be put in the SCAN Mode.
When a signal is received on a channel, the radio will stop scanning and the speaker will become
un-muted. When the activity on that channel ceases, the unit will automatically resume scanning.
If CTCSS/DCS have been previously programmed, the scanning will stop only if the received
carrier has the correct CTCSS or DCS code for that channel.
If “PTT” is pressed during scanning, the radio will transmit on the first vacant channel. In case of no
activity, the Unit will automatically resume scanning.
Selecting a Priority Channel
One channel can be assigned as a
“Priority Channel”

most frequently. Channel 1 is factory set as the priority channel.
