Scanning

By using J, you can monitor Channels and Codes for transmissions and lock in on the one that interests you. More importantly, you can find someone in your group who has accidentally changed Channels and is talking during your scan. You don’t have to set a new Channel or Code, the radio just resets itself temporarily to that Channel and Code and you can start talking.

•To start scanning, briefly press J.

Your Channel/Code screen displays h and begins to scroll through Channels. When the radio detects channel activity, it stops on that channel and displays its Channel and Code. You can talk to the person(s) transmitting without having to switch Channels by pressing M.

•To stop scanning, briefly press J.

If you press M while the radio is scanning, the radio will transmit on the Channel which was selected before you activated Scan.

If no transmission occurs within five seconds, scanning will resume.

If you want to scan channels without Interference Eliminator Codes, change the Code for your set Channel to 0 before you briefly press J.
