SMART SEARCHTM OPERATION

The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where activity is encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver will search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (with- out stopping on them even momentarily). These frequencies are stored into a special Smart Search memory bank, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15 be- low the current frequency, plus the current frequency itself). All channels where activity is present will be loaded into the Smart Search memories. The search will stop after one sweep in each direction, whether or not all 31 memories are filled.
