Scanning Channels
You may want to keep in contact with several vessels in your immediate area at the same time. For this purpose, the scan feature is available.
You can program up to ten channels from any combination of USA, International, or Canadian bands into memory. Whenever a transmission is received, the scan will stop at that channel until the transmission ends and then move on until it recognizes another transmission. You cannot scan weather channels since they broadcast continually and do not allow a break in transmission for the scan to move to the next channel. You can utilize the WX Alert feature to monitor for severe weather conditions.
To scan channels:
1.Before activating the scan feature you must program at least two channels into memory. You can do this by pressing the U/I/C key to select the
desired channel band and then use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select channels in that band. Press the MEM key to place the displayed channel in the scan memory. (Figure 7)
2.Repeat this process for the desired channels.
3.Press the SCAN key to begin the scanning process. Pressing the SCAN key again will stop the scanning process.
