activity on each channel, regardless of the code in
use on that channel.

radio will check for
any
activity on each channel, except the code
0 in use on that channel.
• While the radio is scanning, Scan Icon will display and the radio
will scroll through the channels.
• When activity is detected on a channel, the radio will stop
scanning and you will hear whatever transmissions are detected.
The radio’s display will show the channel and code on which
activity was detected.
