15.5 System Search
System Search can be used to automatically search for
an available system. The transceiver may be outside of
the repeater service area when the PTT switch is
pressed. In this case, System Search can be used to
search for an available system.
The transceiver also executes System Search when the
transceiver cannot establish a link with a data channel. In
this case, a receiving party must be also configured to
scan in order to receive data from the transmitting party.
