If a signal appears on the priority channel it will
override any signals being received on any of
the other channels. In addition, if you press
the Push-To-Talk switch on the microphone at
any time, the radio will transmit on the priority
channel in the usual way.
Programming Group Scan Memories.
The Group Scan feature uses your priority
channel as the working channel. The rest of
the channels you wish to scan are programmed
into the scan memory.
To program your Priority channel:
1. Select the required channel.
2. Press and hold the PRI key. The channel
display will flash for a moment then a high
beep will be heard as the selected channel
is stored.
To program your scan channels:
1. Check that the TX3200 is not already
scanning. If it is, press the SCAN key to
cancel the scan function.
2. Select the required channel using the rotary
channel selector switch.
• If "M" is displayed to the upper left of the
channel number, the selected channel is
presently in the scan memory. It can be
removed by holding the SCAN key in until a
low beep is heard. "M" will then disappear
indicating the channel is no longer in
memory.
• If "M" is not visible to the upper left of the
channel number, then the selected channel
is not in the memory. To add it, hold the
SCAN key in until a high beep is heard.
"M" will now appear to the upper left of the
channel number.
3. Repeat step 2 to add or remove other
channels in the scan memory.
To scan the selected Group Scan channels,
briefly press the SCAN key. A high beep will be
heard, "SCAN" will appear in the display and
the radio will begin scanning.
NOTE: If there are no channels programmed in
the scan memory when you press the SCAN
key, a low beep will be heard and the command
will be ignored.
When scanning, the Group Scan feature
scans all the channels programmed into the
scan memory, with the priority channel being
scanned after every third channel.
• If a signal is heard on a scan channel, the
receiver will "lock" onto it and remain there
for as long as the channel is busy, and for 5
seconds after the channel has cleared, as
long as there are no signals on the priority
channel. During this time the receiver will
continue to check the priority channel for
signals every 2 seconds, resulting in a
series of small 'breaks' in the reception of
the 'locked' channel. If no signals are heard
after 5 seconds, the radio will resume
scanning.
• If a signal appears on the priority channel
at any time (even when locked on a scan
channel) the receiver will switch straight
to the priority channel and will stay there
for as long as the channel is busy. During
this time you can transmit on the priority
channel in the usual way. Once there has
been no activity on the priority channel for
5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning
the other channels.
• To skip over a busy channel, briefly press
the SCAN key twice.
• To talk on the priority (working) channel
while in Scan mode simply press the Push-
To-Talk button on the microphone. When
you have finished your conversation and
there has been no further activity on the
priority channel for 5 seconds, the radio will
resume scanning the other channels.
• To exit directly to the Priority channel, press
