SCAN OPERATION

■

Scan types

Scanning is an effi cient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has both priority scan
and normal scan.
When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the weather
channel is also checked while scanning. (p. 85)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
* When the weather alert function is activated.
Priority scan sequentially searches through all
Favorite channels while monitoring Channel 16.
When a signal is detected on Channel 16, scan
pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is
detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan
becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears.

Set the Favorite channels (scanned channels) before scan-
ning. Clear the Favorite for unwanted channels which incon-
veniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communica-
tions.
Choose the desired scan type from "Priority" or "Normal" in
the set mode. (p. 84)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
* When the weather alert function is activated.
Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all
Favorite channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority
scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is
set as a Favorite channel.
