Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating efficiency.

Stop

Note:

Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately.

You cannot start Scan while Tone Alert is ON.

While using CTCSS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone that you selected.

Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check.
