Group and priority scans

Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel while scanning only specified channels. This is useful when waiting for calls on the priority channel or several specified channels.

Group and priority scans behave differently when transmit- ting. During group scan, transmission is possible on a busy channel only. During priority scan, transmission is possible on a priority channel (or start channel) only.
