E O SCAN FUNCTIONS
li Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The IC-M9 has 4 scan types:
Priority scan searches through all 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 dual watch until the signal disappears. A
small 16 appears in the display indicating priority scan, and
flashes when a signal is received on channel 16.
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all chan-
nels in sequence (either regular or memory channels).
However, unlike priority scan, channel 16 is only checked in
sequence as other channels are.
NOTE: Choose either priority or normal scan in SET mode
(see p. 12).
