Scanning Channels

The FR-314 can scan all 14 FRS channels to search for active transmissions. To begin scanning, press the function button once or until the channel number flashes on the display, then hold the up or down button for 2 seconds while the channel number is flashing. When the scan mode is activated, the scan icon will be displayed on the LCD. A beep tone will also confirm activation of the scan mode if the beep conformation tones are active. While in scan mode, the transceiver will continuously check all channels for activity. If a signal is received, the transceiver will play the entire signal and continue to monitor its channel for one second. If no other signals are received, the FR-314 will resume scanning. Pressing the function select or PTT buttons will exit the scan mode.
