SCANNING FEATURES
SCANNING ALL CHANNELS
The VHF5 scans all channels in one of two modes: normal or priority scan. You may program the VHF5 to scan in either mode.
In normal scanning, the VHF5 rapidly scans through channels, either in the USA or International band. The VHF5 stops scanning on busy channels and remains stopped several seconds after the signal disappears allowing time to answer the call if necessary.
In priority scanning, the scanning operation is the same as normal scanning except Channel 16 is constantly checked for activity, allowing for much quicker response to Channel 16 traffic.
To scan channels, press and hold the SCAN/DUAL button for a few seconds. The VHF5 begins scanning channels using the scan method programmed in the radio. The word SCAN appears on the LCD. To stop scanning, press the SCAN/DUAL button.
Programming for Normal or Priority scanning:
1.Turn the unit off. Press and hold the FUNC button while turning the power on. The unit displays 02 or 03. Release the FUNC button.
2.Press the FUNC button again. The radio displays
3.Rotate the CHL/SQL knob to choose
4.Press the 16 button twice to store programming.
Deleting Channels from Scan
To delete a channel from scan, select the channel to be deleted. Press the FUNC and SCAN/DUAL buttons at the same time.
L appears on the LCD, indicating the channel is locked out of scan. This is useful for bypassing channels that are continuously busy. To activate a deleted channel, select the channel to be activated then press the FUNC and SCAN/DUAL buttons at the same time.
