Repeat to add or remove other channels in the scan memory.
IMPORTANT: When adding channels to Net-Scan, please consider
the following:
• The transmitter on your radio is inhibited on channels 22, 23 and
channels 61, 62, 63 as required by the ACMA. This makes these
channels unsuitable for use as Net-Scan channels.
• You should not include any repeater channel unless you have
confirmed that the channel is not allocated to repeaters in your
area. Using an active repeater channel in Net-Scan may result in
interference to repeater users on that channel.
Auto skip
While scanning, if an active channel in your Scan Group becomes
a nuisance by constantly interrupting the scan, briefly press
while the radio is paused on that channel. The busy channel
will be temporarily removed from the Scan Group to allow time for
the channel to become clear again and scanning will continue from
the next channel in the sequence. After 30 seconds the skipped
channel will be reinstated in the scan sequence.
If the unwanted active channel continues to interrupt the scan
even after the 30 second skip period has elapsed, hold SCAN
while the radio is paused on that channel. The 'nuisance' channel
will be completely removed from the Scan Group for the duration
of that scan session. To restore the channel, simply stop and
restart the scan session using the SCAN key (or switch the radio
Off then On again).
NOTES:
1 You can skip as many busy channels from the Scan Group as
you wish, however if you attempt to skip the last remaining
channel, all the previously skipped channels will be restored to
the Scan Group.
2 The length of the skip period can be adjusted through the XRS
Connect App.
Open Scan
Open Scan allows a group of channels to be scanned in an
ascending sequence. If a signal is found, the scan will pause on
that channel. During this time you can press the PTT on the
microphone and talk on the channel. Once the channel has been
clear for 5 seconds the scan will resume.
Example: Scanning Channels 1 - 8 in open scan
Selecting Open Scan
To select Open Scan, refer to the MENU / SCAN SETTINGS
options.
Default working channel in Open Scan mode
In the Open Scan mode, your default working channel is the
channel your radio switches to when you press the PTT while
scanning. To set your working channel simply select the required

channel before you press SCAN. e.g. to make channel 24 your
working channel, simply select channel 24 before pressing SCAN.
To begin scanning
Briefly press SCAN. A high beep will be heard, 'SCANNING' will be
displayed and the
mode and the number of channels being scanned will be displayed
along with the selected Zone.
NOTE: If there are less than 2 channels programmed into the scan
memory when you press SCAN, a low beep will be heard and the
command will be ignored.
Operating in the Open Scan mode
If a busy channel is found, scanning will pause to allow the signal
to be heard and will remain there for as long as the channel
remains busy. Once the channel has been clear for 5 seconds,
or
scanning will resume automatically.
If you don't wish to listen to a busy channel, briefly press
while the radio is paused on that channel. The busy channel
will be temporarily removed from the Scan Group to allow time for
the channel to become clear again and scanning will continue. The
skipped channel will be reinstated in the scan sequence after 30
seconds (see Auto Skip).
If you press the PTT while the radio is scanning, the scan will
pause and the radio will transmit on the working channel.
After the channel has remained clear for 5 seconds scanning will
resume.
If your radio pauses on a busy channel and you wish to talk on
that channel, wait for a break in the conversation then press the
PTT. If the busy channel was not your working channel, it now
becomes your working channel, replacing your previous working
channel. Once your communication has finished and the channel
has been clear for 5 seconds, scanning will resume.
If you need to use your Priority channel at any time, briefly press
PRI. The scan will be cancelled and the radio will jump straight to
the Priority channel.
Priority Scan
Priority Scan allows you to scan a number of channels for activity
while also monitoring your Priority channel. The receiver will scan
the other channels ONLY WHILE THERE ARE NO SIGNALS ON THE
PRIORITY CHANNEL. If a signal appears on the Priority channel
it will override any signals being received on any of the other
channels. In addition, if you press the PTT at any time, the radio
will transmit on the Priority channel.
Example: Scanning channels 1 - 8 with priority channel 20 in
Priority Scan
NOTE: By default the priority channel will be scanned after every
5th scan channel. This timing can be adjusted using the XRS
Connect App.
