OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan

Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect
conversations. When the radio detects a transmission,
it stops scanning and goes to the active channel. This
allows you to listen and talk to people in that channel
without having to change channel manually. If there is
talking going on Channel 2 during this time, the radio
stays on Channel 1 and you will not hear Channel 2.
After talking has stopped in Channel 1, the radio waits
for 5 seconds before resuming scan again.
• To start scanning, press the SB1 or SB2
button. When the radio detects channel activity,
it stops on that channel until activity on that
channel ends. You can talk to the person(s)
transmitting without having to switch channels
by pressing the PTT button.
Note: Scan has to be programmed either to SB1
or SB2 button via CPS. SB2 is by default
Scan/Nuisance Channel delete button. If
Auto-Scan has been enabled for a particular
channel, do not press SB1 or SB2
(programmed for scan) to start scanning, as
the radio does it automatically.
• To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2
button (programmed for scan) again.
• By pressing the PTT button while the radio is
scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel
which was previously selected before Scan is
activated. If no transmission occurs within 5
seconds, scanning resumes.
• If you want to scan a channel without the
Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL),
set the code settings for the channels to '0' in
the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection
Mode.
Note: Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED
Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat.
