Scan
(T5210 Only)
By using Scanning
, you can monitor channels and codes for transmissions and lock in on the one that
interests you. More importantly, you can find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels
and is talking during your scan. You don’t have to set a new channel or code, the radio just resets itself temorarily
to that channel and code and you can start talking.
To start scanning, briefly press
(Scan/Monitor). Your channel/code screen displays
and begins to scroll
through channels. When the radio detects channel activity, it stops on that channel and displays its channel and
code. You can talk to the person(s) transmitting without having to switch channels by pressing PTT.
To stop scanning, briefly press
. If you press PTT while the radio is scanning, the radio will transmit on the
channel you selected before you activated Scan. If no transmission occurs within five seconds, scanning will
resume.
If you want to scan channels without interference eliminator codes, change the code for your set channel to 0
before you briefly press
.
