MO-1008 / 4008 / 1016 / 4016 User’s Guide

Once the receive signal ends, the radio may be programmed to wait a period of time before resuming scan. When the scan hang timer has expired, scanning will resume. This scan hang timer will also be started whenever the radio has ceased transmitting on a channel. Your dealer or communications coordinator will customize the scan options for your particular situation; the following paragraphs detail the available options.

Busy Channel Scan

If no priority channel has been assigned by your dealer or communications coordinator, all channels in your scan list will be checked for activity, with no preference given to any channel. If activity is detected on a channel the radio will stop on that channel. While the radio is stopped on a channel it may be deleted from the scan list by pressing a programmed scan skip function button. When the radio is turned off, all channels removed from the scan list using nuisance channel delete will be restored.

Priority Channel Scan

If a priority channel (or two) has been assigned by your dealer or communications coordinator, the priority channel will be checked more often than the other channels in the scan list. If activity is detected on a channel the radio will stop on that channel. While stopped on a non-priority channel, the radio may be programmed to check for activity on the priority channel. This may be referred to as priority channel lookback, and the receive audio from the non-priority channel will be briefly interrupted while priority lookback occurs. While the radio is stopped on a non-priority channel it may be deleted from the scan list by pressing a programmed scan skip function button. This function may be referred to as nuisance channel delete. The priority channel can not be deleted from the scan list. When the radio is turned off, all channels removed from the scan list using nuisance channel delete will be restored.
