in Group scan mode, the radio may switch between the open
channel and the Priority channel - this is normal).
• if a normal signal is received on a Quiet channel but your selcall
ident is not detected, the signal will be ignored and scanning
will continue.
• if a signal containing your selcall ident is received on any
channel (open or Quiet) both scanning and QuiEt modes will be
cancelled and the receiver will stay on that channel. in addition,
the alarm will beep to alert you to the call and the callers ident
or AlPhA name will be displayed. the channel will now be open

TIP:
to ensure reliable selcall detection when scanning in the
QuiEt mode, it is recommended that you restrict the number of
channels in the scan group to 4 or less.
