5.Press the [ ] key to advance the cursor to Mode, and then se- lect the communication mode; AUTO, ARQ or FEC.

Note: To register the Scanning Channel Group for ARQ, select ARQ. For FEC, select FEC.

AUTO is used to register scanning channel group when both ARQ and FEC exist in the same Scanning Channel Group.

6.Press the [ ] key to advance the cursor to Auto Search. Select Auto Search to ON or OFF.

Auto Search ON: Radio stops scanning when it finds the strongest signal (highest S/N ratio). To find strongest signal, the radio scans all this channel, which may take some time. Therefore, use this setting where signal propagation is poor.

Auto Search OFF: Radio stops scanning on the first signal it finds. We recommend that you set Auto Search to OFF where signal propagation is good.
