■Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan and a normal scan.
In addition, weather alert functions are available for standby convenience. (p. 13)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01 | CH 02 |
WX* | CH 16 | CH 03 |
CH 05 | CH 04 |
*Previously selected weather channel when weather alert function is ON.
Priority scan searches through all tag channels in se- quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de- tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.
SCAN OPERATION 5
Set the tag channels (channels to be scanned) before scan- ning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scan- ning, such as those used for digital communications.
NOTE: Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 14)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01 | CH 02 |
WX* | CH 03 |
CH 05 | CH 04 |
*Previously selected weather channel when weather alert function is ON.
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Chan- nel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a tag channel.
