Press PGM, then the GLOB softkey, and use the v key to scroll down until the Dflt ScanList
item appears in the middle of the display. Enter a new Scan List number to use as the default

Deleting Objects
Objects that you no longer need to use can easily be deleted from the ADV0801's memory,
making room for new objects.
To delete an object, press PGM, then use the < > ^ v keys to navigate to the object you wish to
delete. Press FUNC CL to delete the object. The scanner will ask you to confirm the delete
command before removing the object from the scanner's memory. Deletions cannot be un-done.
To delete a TSYS, use the FIND feature to search for the TSYS by name. Press PGM, then press
the EDIT softkey, then press the FIND softkey, and use the Standard Text Entry Method to
enter all or part of the TSYS name you wish to delete. Press the OK softkey to begin searching,
and, if necessary, press the NEXT softkey to continue searching until the desired TSYS is
located. Once the TSYS has been located, press the PGM key, then press FUNC CL. The
scanner will ask you to confirm the delete command before removing the object from the
scanner's memory, then, provide a final warning that all TGRPs associated with the TSYS to be
deleted will be lost if you proceed. Press the YES softkey at both warnings to delete the TSYS.
An alternative method is to browse TSYS objects only using the TSYS filter. Press PGM, then
the EDIT softkey, then > > >, and press the TSYS softkey. Scroll to the desired TSYS using the ^
v keys, then press FUNC CL. The scanner will ask you to confirm the delete command before
removing the object from the scanner's memory, then, provide a final warning that all TGRPs
associated with the TSYS to be deleted will be lost if you proceed. Press the YES softkey at both
warnings to delete the TSYS.
Using Multi-Site Mode On Networked Systems
Some Motorola and P25 systems include a large number of sites that are networked together to
provide radio coverage to a large geographical area. These types of trunked radio systems are
more commonly used for large statewide systems, and for some systems that are used in large,
rural counties.
These networked trunked radio systems work in a manner that is very similar to a cellular
telephone network. As a system user moves around (or "roams") in the coverage area of the
network, their radio will automatically find and use the nearest tower site. Each tower site
