3.4 Scan Channel Groups

The DP-6 can automatically control radio equipment through chan- nel scanning. The radio equipment scans a number of channels (according to your selection), stopping when your own ID code is detected in an incoming signal. The transmitter is tuned to the cor- responding transmitter frequency, the communication link is es- tablished and the traffic is automatically exchanged. Scanning resumes once the link is disconnected.

You may store a maximum of 10 scan groups, 20 channels per group. Note that scanning is only possible in the ARQ and FEC modes.
