With conventional channels, the selected channel is in the current scan list if the box icon (around “S”) is indicated in the upper left corner of the display. - Page 24 GENERAL OPERATION Conventional Operation This is a non-trunked operation mode which accesses independent radio channels (there is no automatic access to several channels as with trunked operation). Monitoring before transmitting may not occur auto- matically in this mode, so you may have to manually monitor the channel before transmitting to make sure that it is not being used by anyone else (see page 25).
