SCAN OPERATION

Priority Scan
If the alert monitor is programmed for priority
scan, the frequency programmed as F1 is
designated as the priority channel. If there is
no traffic on F1, the alert monitor alternately
listens to F1 and F2 until a transmission is
detected. If a transmission is detected on F1,
the alert monitor stays on that channel until
the transmission ceases. The alert monitor
only decodes tones on the F1 channel. No
tones are decoded on the F2 channel.
