Receiving a Signal on a Group Scan Channel
If a signal is received on a programmed scan channel, the radio will 'lock'onto that channel provided there is no signal on the PRIORITYchannel.
When the receiver is 'locked'onto the scan channel, the LCD Channel Indicator will switch between the scan channel and the PRIORITY channel. This is because the
receiver is still 'listening'for signals on the PRIORITY channel.
When the scan channel becomes quiet again, the radio will continue to hold the channel for another 3 seconds in order to allow for a natural pause inthe conversation before resuming the Group Scanning mode.
If there is a transmission on the PRIORITY channel while you are listening to a scan channel, the receiver will immediately transfer to the PRIORITY channel and the PRIORITY channel number will be displayed.
To RESUME scanning, while receiving a signal, momentarily press the MEM button on the front panel. The receiver will resume scanning.
To stay on the current active channel, momentarily press the PTT button. The Scan Mode will be cleared.
