Scan Operation

Introduction

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on
different conventional and trunked modes by scanning
a "scan list" of modes. The radio can have only one
scan list; it can contain up to eight different members
(trunk and conventional). The modes to be scanned
in a scan list can be programmed with the radio
service software (RSS) or by using the scan list
programming/viewing option. Refer to the RSS manual
for detailed information:
• Talkgroup Scan—Includes conventional modes
and trunked modes from more than one trunking

Deleting Nuisance Modes

While scanning, if you find that a certain mode is
noisy and disturbs, you can delete it temporarily from
the scan list by pressing the select button when the
display shows the nuisance channel. As a result, the
radio excludes this mode and continues to scan the
remaining modes in the list. To include the deleted
mode back into the scan list, exit and reenter scan.
