Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. After becoming comfortable with how to use all types of Scan, the monitoring flexibility gained will increase your operating efficiency.

This transceiver provides the following conventional scans in addition to “Visual Scan” {page 41} that may be new to you.

When using with CTCSS and/or DTSS:

While using CTCSS, Scan stops and the squelch opens only when received signals contain the matching CTCSS tone.

While using DTSS, Scan stops for any signals received. However, if the signals do not contain the matching DTSS code, the squelch does not open.

When both CTCSS and DTSS are ON, Scan stops for signals that contain the matching CTCSS tone. However, if the signals do not contain the matching DTSS code, the squelch does not open.

Note:

Remember to adjust the squelch threshold level before using Scan.

Always turn OFF Monitor {page 73} and Page before using Scan.

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.
