21General Radio Features Operation (cont.)

Scan Operation

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different trunked or conventional modes by scanning a “scan list” of modes. Each scan list can contain as many as 16 different members; each radio can have up to 16 different scan lists. The members to be scanned in a scan list can be programmed with the radio service software (RSS).

All MTX Series radios support automatic scanning (autoscan), which is programmed into the radio through the RSS. With this feature, the radio begins scanning whenever you select a mode to which a scan list is assigned (strapped). The radio will continue autoscanning until you select a mode that does not have autoscan enabled.

Turning Scan On/Off Using the Three-Position (ABC) Toggle Switch

1.To turn scan on, place the toggle switch in the “B” (scan on) position.

2.The scan status annunciator appears on the display, indicating that scan is active, and the radio begins scanning. The scan annunciator will remain on until scan is turned off.

3.To turn scan off, place the toggle switch in the “A” (scan off) position.

4.The scan status annunciator turns off, indicating that scan is off, and the radio stops scanning.

Deleting Nuisance Modes

When the radio scans to a mode that you do not wish to hear (nuisance mode), you can temporarily delete the mode from the scan list.

1.When the radio is locked onto the mode to be deleted, press the nuisance mode delete button (normally side button 1). A valid-keypress chirp is heard, indicating that the mode has been deleted.

2.The radio continues scanning the remaining modes in the list. To resume scanning the deleted mode, you must either leave and reenter scan
