PRESIDENT LINCOLN Owner's Manual page 29

When you finish speaking and you release the «push to talk» switch to allow
your correspondent to speak, a «beep» sounds. Amateur radio is what is
known as a «simplex»method of communication, that is to say that you cannot
listen and speak at the same time (as you can, for example, with the
telephone). It was custom to say «Roger» to indicate to your correspondent
that you had finished speaking and that it was his turn to talk. The word «Roger»
has now been replaced with a «beep», hence its name «Roger Beep». Press
this key once to activate ROGER BEEP. To cancel out the beep, depress the
same key. This key has no function in mode CW.
18)DIM:
This key allows you to adjust the luminosity of the display.
19)SCAN:
This function allows you to «scan» the 50 channels of the chosen band and to
find the active channels.It is possible to scan 50 channels in Bands a, b, c and
20 channels in band d. Scanning always starts with the lowest channels and
moves upwards to the higher ones, and always by steps of 10 KHz.
To start scanning, press SCAN. Scanning commences, and stops on an active
frequency, depending on the squelch level. At the end of the transmission, the
LINCOLN waits for about 1.5 seconds before resuming the scan cycle. If you
want to communicate press the PTT switch on the microphone during the 1.5
seconds. To exit from the scan mode, press the SCAN button.
