6.Adjust the SQUELCH CONTROL knob until background noise is elimi- nated.
7.To start scanning, press the SCAN key. The scan proceeds from the lowest to the highest programmed channel number and stops on chan- nels when a transmission is received. Scanning will resume when the squelch closes after the incoming signal disappears at the end of the transmission.
8.To stop the scan, press the SCAN key.
4.8 PRIORITY SCAN
The priority scanning feature allows the radio to scan while also keeping watch on a particularly important “priority channel.” The following channels can be set as the priority channel: 16, 09, and Preset Channels A through E (Preset Channels are described in section 4.14).
1.To set the priority channel, hold down the 16/9 key and press the MEM key. The channel will change from 16 to 09 to Preset A to Preset B to Preset C to Preset D to Preset E with each press of the MEM key. The displayed channel will be set as the priority channel.
2.For priority scanning, hold down the SCAN key during normal scanning. Scanning will proceed between the memorized channels and the priority channel. The priority channel will be scanned after each programmed channel. A “P” is shown on the left side of the channel number during priority scanning.
3.As an example of priority scanning, let us say that channels 06, 07, and 08 are memorized in the transceiver’s scan memory. Priority scanning will proceed in the following sequence:
[CH06] à [Priority Channel] à [CH07] à [Priority Channel]à [CH08] à [Priority Channel] à[CH06] à [Priority Channel] ……
4.Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed channel, the transceiver will shift to a “dual watch” mode between this channel and the priority channel. Therefore, your priority watching of the designated channel is not compromised when the scanner has paused on an active channel.
