When the Emergency Automatic ID feature is activated, the "Telephone" icon will blink in the
LCD.
The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where
activity is encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver will
search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes
(without stopping on them even momentarily); these frequencies are stored into a special
Smart Search memory bank, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15
below the current frequency, plus the current frequency itself).
Two basic operating modes for Smart Search are available:
SINGLE: In this mode, the transceiver will sweep the current band once in each direction
starting on the current frequency. All channels where activity is present will be loaded into the
Smart Search memories; whether or not all 31 memories are filled, the search will stop after
one sweep in each direction.
CONT: In this mode, the transceiver will make one pass in each direction as with One-Shot
searching; if all 31 channels are not filled after the first sweep, however, the radio will
continue sweeping until they are all filled.
