Priority/Priority Plus Scan
Priority Scan
When the scanner is scanning a conventional system, it interrupts scanning every 2 seconds to check priority channels for activity. The more channels you
have set to priority, the longer the interruption will be. The quick keys for the system(s) and group(s) containing the priority channel(s) have to be turned on (and unlocked)
or the scanner will display 'Priority Scan No Channel'.
Priority Plus Scan
The scanner only scans priority channels in (unlocked)
conventional
systems with system and group quick keys enabled.
The highest priority is for channels in system and group quick key 1. The lowest priority is for channels in system quick key 90 and group quick key 0. Priority for priority
channels in the same channel group follows the order in which the channels were created.
