6.9.3 PRIORITY SCANNING
(
P-SCAN
)
1. Select the desired channel to be included in the scan memory using the
[
] or [
] key.
2. Press the [
MEM
] key to store the channel into the
transceiver’s scan memory. “
MEM
” will be displayed on
the LCD.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the channels to be scanned.
4. To delete a channel from the transceiver’s scan memory, select the memo-
rized channel, then press the [
MEM
] key to delete the channel from scan
memory.
5. All channels programmed remain in the transceiver’s scan memory even if
the power is turned off.
6. Adjust the Squelch Level until background noise is eliminated by pressing
the [
SQL
] key followed by the [
] / [
] key.
7. To start scanning, press the [
SCAN
] key. A “
SCN
” icon and blinking “
P
” and
“
MEM
” icons will appears at the left of the channel number on the display
during scanning. The scan proceeds between the memo-
rized channels and the Priority Channel (Channel 16).
As an example of priority scanning, let us say that ma-
rine channels “06”, “07”, and “08” are memorized in the
transceiver’s scan memory. Priority scanning will proceed in the following
sequence:
[
CH06
]
(
CH16
)
[
CH07
]
(
CH16
)
[
CH08
]
(
CH16
)
[
CH06
]
(
CH16
)
[
CH07
] .....
: Priority Channel
4. Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed
channel, the transceiver will “dual watch” between this channel and the
priority channel. This allows the radio to be able to receive calls on chan-
nel 16 (priority channel) even when the radio is receiving on another chan-
nel.
5. To stop the Priority Scanning, press the [
SCAN
] key.
