Trunked/Conventional Scanning; Vote Scan (Analog And P25 Conventional Only) - L3Harris XL Series Operator's Manual

5.13.1.3 Priority 2 Channel
This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be
P1, C2, P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. In addition, this channel will
be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is
actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2.
Additionally, activity on P1 can also preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.
5.13.2

Trunked/Conventional Scanning

Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25
conventional channels while still maintaining trunked radio operation. The radio can scan a
conventional scan list while still receiving a trunked control channel and receiving trunked
calls. Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done
using RPM2 and cannot be changed on the radio. However, a user with access to the necessary
menu layout (see Section 4.7) can edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and
conventional channels on the selected Conventional Priority System). As the number of
conventional channels being scanned increases, the time between scanning each channel
increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with the consequent increase in the number of
calls that will late-enter. To avoid missing calls, it is recommended to keep the number of
conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer.
The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC.

Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only)

If vote scan is enabled via RPM2, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring
that the best audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always
scanning. You cannot stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. The scanning
icon on the main screen indicates that the radio is vote scanning versus, regular scanning.
If talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is disabled until talkaround is disabled again.
