With all previous scanners, you selected banks to scan that had channels stored in them. With this scanner, you select 'System Quick Keys' to scan that have 'Systems'
assigned to them. See also Using Quick
First, (unlocked) systems belonging to Quick Key 1 are scanned. Then systems that belong to Quick Key 2,...,9,0,11,...19,10,21,......,99,90 are scanned in order. Systems
with the same quick key are scanned in order of creation. Systems with no quick key are scanned last and in order of creation (including created 'Quick Save' systems).
Groups within the systems are scanned with the same rules. Conventional channels within the groups are scanned in order of creation. IDs are not really scanned. The
scanner checks for any activity in the trunking system and if any ID becomes active, the scanner will display it in 'ID Search' mode. In 'ID Scan' mode, the scanner will only
display IDs programmed in to groups.
Then the scanner starts any (unlocked) service searches, searching them in the menu order. Then custom (unlocked) searches from 1 to 10 in turn.
Then the scanner scans the system called 'Close Call'. This system is created when you do a Close Call 'Auto Store'.
Then the scanner starts all over.
Turning quick keys on and off for systems/groups is not the same as locking and unlocking systems/groups. You can still do that separately (if you really want to confuse
yourself). You can also unlock any service or custom search to include it while scanning. Service search bands and custom searches don't have quick keys and can be
only locked or unlocked.
Scan/Srch. The scanner scans a system for the duration you set using the 'system hold time' option. For trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next system
Press
after the hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and the channel delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all (unlocked) channels are scanned
at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.
Notes: If no systems are programmed, or all systems (or groups in a system) are locked out or turned off, 'Nothing to Scan' appears. Program, unlock, or turn on a
system quick key (or group in a system) to scan.
Any system, Close Call system, group, service search, or custom search, or 'Quick Save' system/group not assigned to a quick key (and/or not locked out) will be scanned.
