Note:

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

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

◆When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting.

◆Pressing and holding Mic [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band.

◆Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check.
