5.0Radio Performance

5.1Scanning

Feature

This allows activity on different communication channels to be monitored. Up to sixteen different channels can be put into a scan list which are listened to sequentially.

Once scan has started, detection of an incoming call causes the radio to automatically switch to the channel so the call can be received; only available in radios with more than one channel.

Benefits

Efficient communication - incoming calls are not missed even when they can be received from

￿more than one communication channel.

Simplifies the radio operation for users of multiple communication channels.

5.2Nuisance Channel Delete

Feature

This allows channels which continually generate unwanted calls or noise to be temporarily removed from the scan list. Deleted channels can be recovered by turning the radio off and back on again.

Benefit

Efficient radio operation as the radio just listens to channels where valid calls will be received.

5.3 Monitor￿

Feature

This allows voice activity on a channel to be listened to. It is particularly useful in radio systems when a single communication channel is shared by several different teams of people, as it allows individuals to check that the channel is free prior to making a call.

Benefit

Guaranteed successful communication first time, every time.

5.4 High￿/ Low Output Power

Feature

The radio output power has two settings and these can be varied whilst the radio is being used.

Benefits

Low output power conserves the battery power so the battery will last longer.

￿Higher output power allow the radio to transmit over a greater distance so you can contact a radio which is farther away.
