Scanning Introduction
There are three types of VHF marine scanning choices that you can select: Normal, DualWatch, and TripleWatch. Normal and TripleWatch scanning are described below. For additional details regarding the various scanning modes, see Page 49.
Normal
Normal Scanning lets you scan all the channels you store in memory. This means the radio checks each channel in memory then moves to the next channel if no activity is found. If activity is found, the radio stops so you can monitor the channel.
To activate Normal Scan mode, momentarily press SCAN/ MEM. The radio scans all the channels stored in memory from lowest to highest. The display shows CHANNEL SCAN in the VHF marine band at the bottom. For the other bands, the Scan icon appears in the display.
