Common Radio Features
Scan
The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different channels by scanning a “scan list.” Each radio can have up to 20 different scan lists. The channels to be scanned can be programmed with the radio service software.
Three types of scan lists are available (consult your service technician for additional information):
•Trunking Priority Monitor — Comprises channels that are all from the same trunking system (10 different channels maximum).
Note
This feature will work only on those systems that support it.
•Conventional — Comprises only conventional channels (15 different channels maximum).
•Talkgroup Scan — Comprises conventional and trunked channels from more than one trunking system (15 different channels maximum). Priority operation is not available in this type of list.
There are also several types of scanning available:
•
•
•Automatic Scanning (Autoscan) — With this feature, the radio begins scanning whenever you select a channel to which a scan list is assigned (strapped). The radio will continue auto scanning until you select a channel that does not have autoscan enabled.
