■Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and normal scan.
In addition, the weather alert and auto scan function is avail- able for standby convenience. These functions can be acti- vated simultaneously, depending on the settings in SET mode. (pgs. 18, 19)
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 sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected 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 (scanned channel) before scanning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning, such as digital communications.
Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 18)
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.
