SYSTEM AND GROUP SCANNING

Saving Scan List

If the menu mode SCN SAVE parameter is available, you can select if scan list changes are saved. If “On” is selected, changes are saved as they are made and the scan list is the same when power is turned on. Conversely, if “Off” is selected, they are not saved and the default scan list status of all systems and groups is reselected when power is turned on. If the menu SCN SAVE parameter is not select- able, the scan list save mode is fixed in one of these states.

Scan Delay and Continue Timers

When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a short delay before scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents another message from being received before a response can be made. Likewise, the delay after transmitting a call ensures that you hear a response to your call instead of another message occurring on some other system or group. Scanning does not resume if it has been disabled, such as by taking the microphone off-hook.

There is also a scan continue timer that may be programmed. This timer controls the maximum time that a call is received before scanning resumes. Times up to 60 seconds can be programmed. This prevents scanning from being delayed for long periods by lengthy calls. If the menu SCN CONT parameter is selectable (see page 33), this feature can be turned on and off.

Transmitting In The Scan Mode

General

When the transmitter is keyed in the scan mode, programming determines if the transmission occurs on the last selected or last received system/group. The display usually indicates the system/ group on which a transmission would occur. The exceptions are noted in the following information. The three programmable config- urations are as follows.
