Scanning
The radio draws more power from the battery when scanning than when
monitoring a single channel. This is because it must wake more often to
monitor each channel for activity. Battery life can be extended by avoiding any
unnecessary scanning. In addition, scanning several channels increases the chance
of finding a signal thereby keeping the receiver awake and the Squelch open more
often.
General
Continuously monitoring a busy channel will reduce the battery life because
incoming signals will keep the receiver awake and the Squelch will stay open for
longer periods of time. This will draw much more power from the battery pack. If
you are expecting to receive a SelCall on a busy channel, program that channel for
'Quiet' operation and select the Quiet mode. The radio will then stay 'muted' until
your SelCall Ident is received.
