(Not Available on 2 Channel Models)

Channel Scan

This optional feature allows you to monitor a number of chan- nels. The receiver checks each channel in a preprogrammed list for activity (up to 7 channels on the 8 channel model).

Two types of channel scan are offered in the P110; non-prior- ity and priority scan. Both types of channel scan are available with PL/DPL operation. To initiate the scan feature, rotate the channel selector switch to the channel in which scan is pro- grammed. If a conversation is initiated on any of the channels that the radio is scanning, the radio stops on the active chan- nel and you can listen to the conversation.

NOTE

The P110 scan list is not operator selectable; however, it may be reprogrammed through the Radio Service Software available at your local Motorola Radius dealer.

•Non Priority Channel Scan

With this type of scan operation, no one scan channel has pri- ority over another. The scanner stops on the first scan channel with activity, and when the activity is over and a 3-second "hang-time" has expired, proceeds to the next scan channel.

•Priority Channel Scan

Any one of the radio's programmed channels may be desig- nated as the priority channel. Whenever activity occurs on the priority channel, the scanner automatically stops there and the priority alert tone is heard. Even if you are listening to another channel in the scan list, the radio automatically goes to the priority channel when there is activity.

•PL/DPL Channel Scan

Private-Line operation is offered with priority and non- priority channel scan. With this mode of scanning opera- tion, the scanner stops on only the scan channels coded with the proper PL/DPL tone if PL/DPL signalling is active when you initiate scan.

NOTE

If the monitor mode is not active when the scan- ning feature is initiated, the radio performs a PL type of scan. If the monitor mode is active when the scanning feature is initiated, the radio per- forms a CSQ type of scan.
