Scan mode

You can save channels into memory and then use scan mode to monitor those

channels. When the radio detects a signal on a channel, it pauses on that channel as long as the signal is received; when the transmission stops, the radio will continue scanning.

When it detects a signal, the radio stays on the channel until you press the CHANNEL UP button or the signal stops.
