Set Hold Time

This setting controls how many seconds the scanner scans a system before moving to the next unlocked system. Enter a value from 0-255, then press E to save the setting.

Notes:

• This setting is available only when a control channel exists in a trunked system.

• If you select 0, the scanner stays on the system for a minimal time (only long enough to check cur- rent system activity).

• The default setting is 2 seconds for each system.

• For conventional systems, all unlocked channels will be scanned at least once regardless of this setting.

• The scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, any current transmission ends, and the channel delay time expires.

• Due to the control method for these system types, the scanner always scans LTR and EDACS SCAT systems for at least 1 second.
