Normal Channel Scan, Continued

is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channel once activity has ceased. Dealer programmable, 4 -7 seconds is typical). The radio will resume scanning once the scan delay time has expired, and will continue to scan until the channel is changed. The LED will flash green.

Priority Channel Scan

A single channel may be programmed as the "Priority" channel. The radio will constantly monitor this channel while scanning and when the radio has stopped on an active channel. If a call is detected on the priority channel, the radio will automatically move to, and remain on, the priority channel for as long as the priority conversation takes place. Priority channel activity takes precedence over all other conversations. To activate the Priority scan mode, press and release the scan button (second button below the P-T-T bar). The LED will flash green.

Other Scanning Features

Look Back

This feature is ideal for those who do not need scan as defined above, but want to make sure that they never miss a call on the "Priority" channel if another channel has been selected. Once a channel has been selected, the radio will periodically "look back" at the priority channel. If activity is detected on the priority channel, the radio will move to that channel for as long as it remains active. To enter the "look back" mode, press and hold the scan button (first button below the P-T-T bar). PS / Channel number will be shown in the display, the LED will flash green.

NOTE: Look back requires that the radio leave the current channel for a fraction of a second (at regular intervals) to check the priority channel for activity. Depending upon how the radio is programmed (scan speed, etc.) this may or may not be noticeable as "breaks" on the current channel for that same fraction of a second. A transmission will be made on the active channel at all times.

Scan Channel Delete

To temporarily delete a channel from the scan list, simply press the monitor button (second button below the P-T-T bar) while scanning and stopped on the channel to be deleted. This will remove that channel from the scan list
