3 BASIC OPERATION
@ Scan function
The transceiver has a high speed scan function for standing
by on utility signals. The scan speed is 8 channels/sec. (ex-
cept when the weather alert function is in use).
Two scan types are available: normal scan (scans all tag
channels in sequence) and priority scan (checks channel 16
while scanning and becomes dual watch while pausing on a
regular channel—except for channel 16). These scans can be
selected in SET mode (p. 28).
