Changing The Scanning Mode - OpenSky P800 User Manual

If pressing the Menu button does not launch you back
into the Priority Scan menu, you haven't acted quickly
enough to Undo your choice. Wait approximately 10
seconds for the selection process to clear the radio,
then press the right Menu button to re-enter the Priority
Scan menu.
Duration of Priority Assignments
If you make no priority assignments during your shift,
each profile selects the talk group as the priority scan
group. When you use the Priority Scan menu to assign
scanning priority to a new group, your assignment
stays in effect until you change it or turn your radio off.
Powering Off erases all scanning priority assignments
and resets your radio to the defaults.

Changing the Scanning Mode

Three scanning modes are available for the P800, but
only one can be active at any time. Changing your
scanning mode changes the way your radio scans voice
calls for all of the profiles in your radio personality.
Your choice of scanning mode will broaden or narrow
the span of your communications with all the listen
groups in your profiles, but does not affect your
interaction with your talk groups.
Your scanning mode choice will stay in effect until you
change it again; even if you turn off your radio, your
current selection will be saved until your next use.
