GME GA9800 Instruction Manual page 301

• If a signal is heard on a scanned channel, scanning will pause on that channel and remain
there for as long as the channel is busy, and for 5 seconds after the channel has cleared, as
long as there are no signals on the priority channel. During this time the receiver will continue
to check the priority channel for signals every 2 seconds, resulting in a series of small 'breaks'
in the reception of the 'paused' channel. If no signals are heard after 5 seconds, the radio will
resume scanning.
• If a signal appears on the priority channel at any time (even when paused on a scan channel)
the receiver will switch straight to the priority channel and will stay there for as long as the
channel is busy. During this time you can transmit on the priority channel in the usual way.
Once there has been no activity on the priority channel for 5 seconds, the radio will resume
scanning the other channels.
• To transmit on a non-priority channel, exit the scan mode, select the required channel then
talk in the usual way. To resume scanning press the SCAN key.
• To transmit on the priority (working) channel AT ANY TIME, simply press the Push-To-Talk
switch while the radio is scanning. The radio will switch straight to the priority channel. When
you have finished your conversation and there has been no further activity on the priority
channel for 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning the other channels.
• To go directly to the Priority channel, briefly press the PRI key. The radio will exit the Scan mode.
ENDING THE SCAN
To cancel the Group Scan mode, briefly press the SCAN key. A low beep will be heard and
'SCAN' will disappear from the display. The radio will return to the priority channel.
USING THE GROUP SCAN AS A SECOND OPEN SCAN
There may be applications where you have no need for the priority channel and would prefer
to have two Open Scan modes with separate channel groups in each. This would allow you to
scan either channel group without the interruption caused by monitoring a priority channel.
Your TX6200 can be dealer programmed to convert the Group Scan function into a second
Open Scan mode. If you would prefer this feature over the present Group Scan option you
should contact your GME dealer to arrange for this feature to be enabled.
When the second Open Scan mode is enabled, the original Open Scan mode becomes Scan 1
while the new additional Open Scan mode becomes Scan 2. To select the required scan mode
briefly press the F key immediately followed by the OS/GS key. 'OS' is displayed for Scan 1
and 'GS' for Scan 2.
