Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning (basic and advanced) to make your search more effective. The basic scan mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels as you have set them (or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and Interference Eliminator Code) your radio was set to when you st arted the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the key. The scan
will appear in the display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2.When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press | within five |
seconds after the end of the transmission. |
|
4.The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds after the end of any received activity.
5.To stop scanning, briefly press the k ey.
To start Advanced Scanning: |
| ||
1. | Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF. | ||
2. | Briefly press the | key. The scan | w ill appear in the display, |
| and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No | ||
| Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard. |
Weather Receiver
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weatheradio.
You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels and Frequencies” table below) or set your radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts. When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio in scan mode or for two- way communications.
Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.
Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific areas and service may be limited. Please check with your local weather office for frequency and details, or visit www.weather.gov/nwr in the US or www.msc.ec.gc.ca/msb/weatheradio in Canada to view the appropriate transmitter for your area.
