SCAN OPERATION

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and
Normal scan.
When the Weather alert function is turned ON, the
previously selected (last used) weather channel is also
checked while scanning. (p. 48)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
CH 06
CH 05
Priority scan sequentially searches through all TAG
channels while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal
disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, the scan switches to Dualwatch until the
signal disappears.

CH 04
Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as those for digital communication use. (Refer to the
right page for details.)
Choose Priority or Normal scan in the Set mode. (p. 47)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
CH 06
CH 05
Normal scan, like priority scan, sequentially searches
through all TAG channels. However, unlike priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless it is set as a TAG
channel.
