Channel Scan

Description

If your radio is the MaxTrac 300 16-channel or 32-channel model, it includes
Channel Scan monitoring. The radio may come with pre-programmed scan lists
dedicated to every active channel (channel-slaved). The user selects a particular
channel and turns on scan, choosing either "scan" or "priority scan."
The radio user can also program one unique user-programmable scan list from
the front panel of the radio, which is retained in memory until changed or deleted
by the user. To access this list, choose either "user scan" or "priority user scan."
Both types of scan operate in either non-priority or priority modes. Non-priority
scan means that every channel on the scan list is monitored equally. However,
with priority scan, certain channels have "priority" over others and are checked
more frequently. If you are scanning with priority, the radio will continually check
for activity on your priority channels, even when you are listening to a message on
another channel, and there may be short gaps in the audio. The radio will
continue to check priority one even while receiving a call on priority two.
With pre-programmed scan, the channel you have selected is always the priority
one channel. The priority two channel is pre-programmed and is the same for
every scan list. With user-programmable scan, the priority channels are
designated by the operator.
