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.

In addition, weather alert functions are available for standby convenience. (p. 13)

PRIORITY SCAN

CH 01

CH 02

WX*

CH 16

CH 03

CH 05

CH 04

*Previously selected weather channel when weather alert function is ON.

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.

SCAN OPERATION 5

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. 14)

NORMAL SCAN

CH 01

CH 02

WX*

CH 03

CH 05

CH 04

*Previously selected weather channel when weather alert function is ON.

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.
