SCAN OPERATION

■ 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 "Weather alert*" and "Auto scan" functions are
also selectable for scanning. These functions can be simul-
taneously activated, depending on the settings in the SET
mode.

* Previously selected weather channel
when weather alert function is ON.
Normal scan, like priority scan, sequentially searches
through all Favorite channels. However, unlike priority
scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless it is set as a Fa-
vorite channel.

on Channel 16, the 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.
