Scan - Motorola Astro Digital Saber II User Manual

Scan

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different channels by
scanning a "scan list." Each radio can have up to 20 different scan lists. The
channels to be scanned can be programmed with the radio service software or
manually by using the keypad.
Three types of scan lists are available (consult your service technician for
additional information):
• Trunking Priority Monitor — Comprises channels that are all from the
same trunking system (10 different channels maximum).
• Conventional — Comprises only conventional channels (10 different
channels maximum).
• Talkgroup Scan — Comprises conventional and trunked channels from
more than one trunking system (15 different channels maximum).
Priority operation is not available in this type of list.
There are also several types of scanning available:
• Priority-One Scanning — With priority-one
scanning enabled, one member of the scan list is
chosen as the priority-one member. Any activity
on the priority-one channel will be heard on the
speaker even if another channel in the scan list
has activity on it.
• Priority-Two and Non-Priority Scanning — In
addition to the priority-one channel being the
number one priority, a second channel can be
assigned as a priority-two channel, if desired.
The remaining members in the scan list can be
programmed as non-priority members of the
scan list.
• Automatic Scanning (Autoscan) — With this feature, the radio begins
scanning whenever you select a channel to which a scan list is assigned
(strapped). The radio will continue auto scanning until you select a
channel that does not have autoscan enabled.
• Operator-Selectable Scan — Scan can be programmed to be selected by a
softkey related button or a Scan On/Off Switch (see page 2).
