Scan

Scan allows you to monitor the radio’s channels and code. When the radio detects someone talking, it stops scanning and locks in on the active channel. It allows you to listen and talk back automatically to the person transmitting without having to switch channels.

Note: To communicate in scan, your radio must be set to the same code as the other radio(s) in your group. If your radio is set to a different code, the scan feature will not detect channel activity in your group.

•If you set the Channel Selector knob to the “s” poisition (scan mode) and no activity is detected, you will transmit on channel 1 when you press the Push-To-Talk button

Built-In VOX
