SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.

If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/ DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.

Note: You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels available on your transceiver that are not locked out of Scan.

To start scanning, momentarily press the key programmed as either Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete.

•The LED indicator flashes green and scanning starts from the current channel and ascends through the channel numbers.

•When a signal is detected on a channel and the QT/ DQT matches, scan pauses at that channel and the LED indicator lights green.

•When the signal is no longer present, scanning continues after 3 seconds (default).

To end Scan, press the Scan or Scan + Temporary Delete key again.
