Group And Priority Scans; Setting Scan Tag - Icom IC-40S Instruction Manual

Group and priority scans

Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel
while scanning only specified channels. This is useful when
waiting for calls on the priority channel or several specified
channels.
Group and priority scans behave differently when transmit-
ting. During group scan, transmission is possible on a busy
channel only. During priority scan, transmission is possible on
a priority channel (or start channel) only.

For open scan, cancel the tag channel setting to skip un-
desired channels such as usually busy channels. This
speeds up the scan interval. All memory channels may be
set as tag channels by default.
For group scan, set only often-used channels as tag chan-
nels. All memory channels may be set as tag channels by
default.
