Scan Operations

NOTE

The radio scans through all channels in the prepro- grammed scan list. If activity is detected, the radio stops scanning and stays on the active channel.

The ‘SCAN’ indicator remains on, and you will hear the conversation, provided the PL/DPL code (if required) is correct. In Carrier squelch and Coded squelch modes, when activity is over and a 7-sec- ond “hang time” has expired, the display reverts to the Home Channel and scanning resumes.

To stop scanning:

SCAN

• Press D .

N-DEL

Transmitting During Channel Scanning

When the scan is locked at a channel:

•Press Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button (6) to talk, release to listen.

IMPORTANT

The radio transmits on the current active TX fre- quency. But, if Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button (6) is pressed before the scan is locked at any channel, the Home Channel TX frequency is used.

Nuisance Channel Delete

When the radio is scanning, it would stop at any chan- nel within the scan list that has activity. A channel that generates unwanted signals continuously is called a Nuisance Channel. To temporarily remove the chan- nel from the scan list:

SCAN

•Press and hold N-DDELfor about 3 seconds while scan locks on the Nuisance Channel.
