SCAN OPERATION

I Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to quickly locate signals over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan set-
ting and normal scan setting.
In addition, the "Auto scan" function is also available for scan-
ning. This function can be activated simultaneously, depend-
ing on the settings on the SET mode.
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
Priority scan searches through all TAG 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 dualwatch until the signal disappears.

Set the TAG channels
Clear those TAG channels which are not needed or inconve-
niently stop scanning, such as digital communications.
Choose priority or normal scan on the SET mode.
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all TAG
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Chan-
nel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a TAG
channel.
