5 SCAN OPERATION

■Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan and a normal scan.

PRIORITY SCAN

CH 01		CH 02
CH 88	CH 16	CH 03
CH 05		CH 04

Priority scan searches through all tag channels in se- quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de- tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.

Set the tag channels (channels to be scanned) before scan- ning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scan- ning, such as those used for digital communications.

NOTE: Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 13)

NORMAL SCAN

CH 01	CH 02
CH88	CH 03
CH 05	CH 04

Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Chan- nel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a tag channel.
