Scanning A Group Of Channels - Tait TM9315 User Manual

Scanning a group of channels

40 Operating in conventional mode
Suspending a channel from a voting group
You may be able to use the function key programmed
for nuisance delete to temporarily delete one of the
channels from the voting group.
When that voting group is next selected, or after the
radio has been turned off and then on, the deleted
channel is again part of the voting group.
The scan function is used to monitor a programmed
group of channels, looking for activity. While the radio
is scanning for activity, the orange LED glows. When
activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the
radio stops on that channel. The orange LED begins
flashing, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call.
Scanning resumes once the channel is no longer
busy.
While scanning is active, depending on how the radio
has been programmed, the display will show either:
the scan group number
■
the captured channel
■
the transmit channel
■
The section "Selecting a channel or group" on
page 32 explains how to select a group. A group can
be either a voting or a scanning group.
Making a call while scanning
If you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:

(the orange LED is glowing rather than flashing),
then the channel that is called depends on the way
your radio has been programmed. The possible
options are:
