Common Radio Features

Scan

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different channels by
scanning a "scan list." Each radio can have up to 20 different scan lists. The
channels to be scanned can be programmed with the radio service software.
Three types of scan lists are available (consult your service technician for
additional information):
• Trunking Priority Monitor — Comprises channels that are all from the
same trunking system (10 different channels maximum).
Note
This feature will work only on those systems that support it.
• Conventional — Comprises only conventional channels (15 different
channels maximum).
• Talkgroup Scan — Comprises conventional and trunked channels from
more than one trunking system (15 different channels maximum).
Priority operation is not available in this type of list.
There are also several types of scanning available:
• Priority-One Scanning — With priority-one scanning enabled, one
member of the scan list is chosen as the priority-one member. Any activity
on the priority-one channel will be heard on the speaker even if another
channel in the scan list has activity on it.
• Priority-Two and Non-Priority Scanning — In addition to the priority-
one channel being the number one priority, a second channel can be
assigned as a priority-two channel, if desired. The remaining members in
the scan list can be programmed as non-priority members of the scan list.
• Automatic Scanning (Autoscan) — With this feature, the radio begins
scanning whenever you select a channel to which a scan list is assigned
(strapped). The radio will continue auto scanning until you select a
channel that does not have autoscan enabled.
• Operator-Selectable Scan — Scan can be programmed to be selected by a
Scan On/Off Switch (see page 2).
