OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan

Scan allows you to monitor other channels to
detect conversations. When the radio detects a
transmission, it stops scanning and goes to the
active channel. This allows you to listen and
talk to people in that channel without having to
change channel manually. If there is talking
going on Channel 2 during this time, the radio
stays on Channel 1 and you will not hear
Channel 2. After talking has stopped in
Channel 1, the radio waits for 5 seconds before
resuming scan again.
• To start scanning, press the SB1 or SB2 button.
When the radio detects channel activity, it stops
on that channel until activity on that channel
ends. You can talk to the person(s) transmitting
without having to switch channels by pressing the
PTT button.
Note: Scan has to be programmed either to SB1
or SB2 button via CPS. SB2 is by default
Scan/Nuisance Channel delete button. If
Auto-Scan has been enabled for a particular
channel, do not press SB1 or SB2
(programmed for scan) to start scanning, as
the radio does it automatically.
• To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2
button (programmed for scan) again.
• By pressing the PTT button while the radio is
scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel
which was previously selected before Scan is
activated. If no transmission occurs within 5
seconds, scanning resumes.
• If you want to scan a channel without the
Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set
the code settings for the channels to '0' in the
CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode.
Note: Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED
Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat.
