Not all radios have mode-slaved or personality-
slaved scan list capability, and some have the capability
on only certain modes. A scan list-capable mode can
have up to 16 modes listed. The "SCAN" display will not
appear on models that have no scan list capability. If
the radio has scan list capability but the selected mode
does not, "SCAN" will appear in the display, but an
invalid-key chirp will sound if you press HOME.
If zone/mode operation is enabled in a radio, the
"SCAN" selection under the "MODE" menu will
sound a bad-key tone when
a zoned radio, scan lists may only be modified
through the "ZONE" menu.
A. Conventional Mode-Slaved Scan
To enter the "SCAN" menu, select the desired con-
ventional mode and proceed as you would to enter the
"NAME" menu (see paragraph VII). With "NAME" dis-
played, press Mode to scroll to the "SCAN" menu.
Press HOME; the display changes to the first eligible
mode name. If that mode is already in the scan list,
"N PRI" will be lit or "PRI" will light or flash. To add a
mode to the list, or change a mode's status in the list,
press Sel as follows:
If Display Press
Has Sel
No Indicators Once
N PRI Lit Once
PRI Lit Once
PRI Flashing Once
Repeatedly pressing Sel cycles through the above
four choices.
Only one first- and one second-priority mode is
allowed per list. If you assign first-priority status to a
mode in a list that already has such a mode, only the
most recently assigned mode will be recognized as first
priority; the other mode stays on the scan list, but is
reduced to non-priority status. This same rule holds true
for second priority.
The selected mode will always be a member of its
own scan list (on SMARTNET models, the selected
mode will be shown as "SEL MODE" when reviewing
the scan list). If you try to remove it from the list, you
will hear a invalid-key chirp when you press Sel. You
may, however, change its priority status. As shipped
from the factory, the scan list will consist of the selected
mode plus the first 15 eligible modes in the radio.
Press Mode to save the status entered for that
mode and to advance to the next mode. Press Mode to

scroll through all the eligible modes. As you scroll
through the modes, the "PRI" and "N PRI" indicators
identify the modes that are on the list. You may scroll
through all the modes to the "EXIT" display, press
HOME to exit back to the "SCAN" display.
When the list has reached its maximum size, addi-
tional attempts to select modes will cause the
invalid-key chirp and a "LIST FULL" display when Sel is
pressed. You must make a vacancy, that is, delete a
mode from the list, before you can add to a full list. To
delete, press Mode to scroll to the mode you want to
take off the list. Press Sel until the PRI and N PRI indi-
cators are extinguished.
On 12-button keypad radios, press Rcl to scroll
through the present scan list and Del to delete
unwanted modes from the list. You may also directly
access desired modes by entering the mode num-
bers on the keypad, then pressing Sel to add to the
scan list.
Exit the editing process with the HOME button and
return to the "SCAN" display. If you scroll from the
"SCAN" to "EXIT" and press HOME, you will return to
the selected mode display.
B. Talkgroup Scan
1. Description
Talkgroup scan lists are created like conventional
mode-slaved scan lists. The type of scan you are
allowed to have is determined by the radio model. Mod-
els designated as "B5," "B7," "B9," "C5," "C7," and "C9"
contain talkgroup scan. Talkgroup scan allows for up to
16 modes (any in the radio) to be scanned, regardless
of which trunked system or conventional system the
modes are on.
For fixed-list talkgroup scan there is a different scan
list for each trunked personality and each conventional
mode. For operator-select talkgroup scan there is one
list that all the modes will use.
The type of scan list to be edited will depend upon
which mode/personality is selected when the "SCAN"
menu is entered. (The mode is selected under the
"MODE" display; see paragraph VII.) The selected
mode will always be a member of its own scan list and
cannot be deleted; the selected mode is shown as "SEL
MODE" when reviewing the scan list.
2. Editing Talkgroup Scan Lists
If the selected mode is contained in a trunked per-
sonality or conventional mode programmed for
talkgroup scan, then you will be able to enter up to 15
modes from anywhere in the radio into the scan list,
regardless of the trunked system or conventional mode
