SCAN OPERATION

Wide Area System Scan (Optional)

The radio may be programmed for wide area system scan operation for
multi-site applications. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's
control channel, radios may be programmed to automatically scan the
control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found, the
radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.

Priority System Scan (Optional)

The radio may also be programmed for priority system scan. A priority
system may be assigned among the systems programmed into the radio.
Radios programmed in this manner will check for the priority trunked
system's control channel at a programmable rate ranging from 1 to 16
minutes. This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is
pressed or a call is received. If the priority system control channel is found,
the radio will automatically switch to the priority system.

Group Scan

Only Groups that are part of the radio's scan list may be scanned.
Groups are added to the scan list on a per system basis through PC
programming. Each system's group scan list is retained in memory when the
radio is turned off. The radio may also be programmed to provide Priority
Group Scan capability which operates similar to priority scan in
conventional systems.
The following is a description of PC programmable scan features that
should be helpful in understanding Group Scan Operation.
Scan Hang Time - the delay time the radio waits before resuming scan
after PTT is released or after the carrier has dropped a channel.
TX Select - the group the radio will transmit on while scanning. The
radio will be programmed to transmit on either the scanned group or the
selected group.
Scan List (privileges) - pre-programmed list of groups that may be
scanned.
P1 Programming - priority group programming is accomplished by one
(and only one) of two methods:
1. Priority 1 Group programming follows the selected channel.
