8.1 Scan mode

Scan mode enables automatic searching for channels that are
currently broadcasting.
Scan mode will search channels and stop when it finds a
channel that is broadcasting. If the broadcast stops or is lost for
more than 5 seconds then the scan will resume.
Channels can be temporarily removed from an active scan,
and the direction of scan can also be changed. When the scan
reaches the last channel in the band the scan cycle is repeated.
The following scans options are available:
• ALL SCAN — All channels in the frequency band the radio is
set to are scanned in sequence.
• ALL SCAN + 16 — All channels in the frequency band the
radio is set to are scanned, after each channel is scanned
priority channel 16 is scanned.
• SAVED SCAN — Only channels saved to the radio's memory
are scanned in sequence.
• SAVED SCAN + 16 — Only channels saved to the radio's
memory are scanned, after each channel is scanned priority
channel 16 is scanned.
