The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple sig-
nals programmed into the transceiver. While scanning,
the transceiver will check each channel for the pres-
ence of a signal, and will stop on a channel if a signal
is present.

scanning.
r The scanner will search the channels of each
channel, looking for active ones; it will pause
each time it finds a channel on which someone is
speaking.

disable scanning. Operation will revert to the pro-
grammed revert channel.
