Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. When
this option is enabled and the radio is in Priority Scan mode, the radio
checks the channel for activity and proper PL. If the channel has
Carrier but the wrong PL or no PL, the channel is marked so that the
radio will not check a second time for the proper PL. The radio will not
unmute on this channel until carrier is dropped. This is done to
eliminate time spent checking for proper PL and thus minimize audio
holes.
Note: Care should be exercised in using this feature. It is possible
for messages to be missed especially if long repeater hangtimes
are used.
The default is Disabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the length of time that the
radio will remain on a Conventional channel during scan after the
monitor button has been released. Valid entries range from 0 (zero) to
255 seconds in one-second increments.
The default is 6 seconds.
Conventional Voting Scan is used to select the best repeater to use in
a multi-frequency simulcast conventional system. Enabling this field
will cause all conventional personalities using a conventional scan list
with Auto Scan enabled (Main-/F4/F6/F3/F9) to perform conventional
voting scan.
Having more that 7 list members in a conventional scan list
!
used for Conventional Voting Scan may degrade
performance, resulting in missed transmissions.
Caution
Before using Conventional Voting Scan, you must first create a
conventional scan list which contains all repeaters in the
Conventional Voting Scan wide area network. Each conventional
personality in this list must have Auto Scan enabled.
The default is disabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select Trunking Failsoft Activity
Time. This value determines how long the radio will stay unmuted on
a failsoft channel if failsoft is found while in talkgroup scan. Valid
values range from 1 to 255 seconds in one-second increments. You
may also select Disabled.
The default is 6 seconds.
This timer applies only to systems which do not employ the scan marker
feature. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired Trunk
Activity Search Time. This timer determines how long the radio will
stay on the control channel searching for voice activity before
scanning the next system. Valid entries range from 0 (zero) to 255
seconds in increments of one second each.
The default is 10 seconds for SMARTNET models and one second for
Privacy Plus models.
