This setting controls how the scanner handles the record option for channels in the system.

All Channel — The scanner sends the audio for all channels in the system to the REC jack, regardless of the channel’s record option setting.

Marked Channel — The scanner only sends the audio for channels that have the Record option turned on to the REC jack.

Off — The scanner does not send any audio from any channel in the system to the REC jack, even if the record option is turned on for a channel.

Note for systems: In order for the function to work, you must set the channel to record. You must also set the system’s record option to either All Channel (which will record all channels regardless of the channel’s record setting) or Marked Channel (which only records the channels you’ve set to record).
