SCAN OPERATION

Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
In addition, weather alert and automatic scan start function is
available for standby convenience. (p. 14)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequence
while monitoring channel 16. When a signal is detected on
channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when
a signal is detected on a channel other than channel 16,
scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.

* Previously selected weather channel when
weather alert function is ON.
Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as digital communication use.
NOTE: Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode.

NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
* Previously selected weather channel when
weather alert function is ON.
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, chan-
nel 16 is not checked unless channel 16 is set as a tag
channel.
