SCAN OPERATION

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to quickly locate signals over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan
setting and normal scan setting.
In addition, the "Weather alert" and "Auto scan" functions are
also available for scanning. These functions can be activated
simultaneously, depending on the settings on the SET mode.

PRIORITY SCAN

* Previously selected weather channel
when weather alert function is ON
Priority scan searches through all Favorite channels in
sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disap-
pears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than
Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disap-
pears.
