Repeater search scan

The Repeater search scan is used not only to search for a
signal on the repeater channels, but also to access a repeat-
er by automatically transmitting in sequence. The repeater
search function searches available repeaters in the area,
even if the repeater is not in use.
The Repeater search scan detects signals only on the Channels
1 to 8 and Channels 41 to 48 channels. Therefore, repeater avail-
ability cannot be guaranteed even if the repeater scan is stopped,
because the scan will stop if any activity is detected. The scan is
cancelled when receiving a signal, such as stations communicating
in Simplex operation on a repeater output channel.
*Excludes Emergency Repeater 'RPT-05.'
