General Radio Features Operation

Scan Operation

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on
different trunked or conventional modes by
scanning a "scan list" of modes. Each scan list
can contain as many as 16 different members;
each radio can have up to 16 different scan lists.
The members to be scanned in a scan list can be
programmed with the radio service software
(RSS).
All MTX Series radios support automatic scanning
(autoscan), which is programmed into the radio
through the RSS. With this feature, the radio
begins scanning whenever you select a mode to
which a scan list is assigned (strapped). The radio
will continue autoscanning until you select a mode
that does not have autoscan enabled.
Turning Scan On/Off Using the Three-Position
(ABC) Toggle Switch
1.
To turn scan on, place the toggle switch in the "B"
(scan on) position.
2.
The scan status annunciator appears on the
display, indicating that scan is active, and the
radio begins scanning. The scan annunciator will
remain on until scan is turned off.
3.
To turn scan off, place the toggle switch in the "A"
(scan off) position.
4.
The scan status annunciator turns off, indicating
that scan is off, and the radio stops scanning.
Deleting Nuisance Modes
When the radio scans to a mode that you do not
wish to hear (nuisance mode), you can temporarily
delete the mode from the scan list.
1.
When the radio is locked onto the mode to be
deleted, press the nuisance mode delete button
(normally side button 1). A valid-keypress chirp is
heard, indicating that the mode has been deleted.
2.
The radio continues scanning the remaining
modes in the list. To resume scanning the deleted
mode, you must either leave and reenter scan
