Responding to a Transmission During a Scan

Procedure:
1Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you
will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.

This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the Selected Channel.
Procedure:
1When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance channel, press the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete button until you hear a tone.
2Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The nuisance channel is deleted.
