Scanning - Uniden UH9080 Owner's Manual

Operation

Scanning

The UH9060/UH9080's Scanning feature allows you to search for active channels
automatically.
There are 3 scanning modes;
Open Scan (OS),
Group Scan (GS) and
Master Scan (M.SCN) (a special case of Group Scan).
During SCAN the UH9060/UH9080 only checks channels or frequencies that are in
the SCAN Memory, which are indicated by the M (memory) icon. The UH9060/UH9080
maintains two SCAN Memories; one for Open Scan (OS) mode and the other for Group
Scan (GS)
Group Scan and Master Scan modes share the same SCAN Memory.

MASTER SCAN Mode
MASTER SCAN is the default scan mode and is enabled to allow continual communi-
cation across congested channels.
Master Scan scans channels stored into GS Memory and only opens the squelch for
signals with the correct subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).
To achieve this, all radios in your group must have the same channels in GS memory
(group channels) and use the same Subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).
By scanning only group channels, radios in the network will be able to detect and
