Using The Radio With Scan; The Selected Channel; Display; Transmitting While In Scan - Ericsson EDACS MDX Operator's Manual

• NON-PRIORITY PROGRAMMED
Up to 16 non-priority channels may be scanned. Once a carrier is
detected (or correct Channel Guard is decoded) the digital display will
indicate that channel. Scanning will stop and remain on the channel until
the carrier disappears; after a few seconds scanning resumes. The
channels are scanned in descending order.

USING THE RADIO WITH SCAN

The Selected Channel

The SELECTED channel is the channel in the display when scan is turned
on by pushing the SCAN switch. When a signal is not being received, the radio
reverts to this channel for transmitting. When a signal is being received, the
radio can be PC programmed to either revert to the SELECTED channel or
remain on the received channel for transmission.
The SELECTED channel does not necessarily have to be a channel in the
scan list. The SELECTED channel will be temporarily entered into the scan
list and scanned until the SELECTED channel is changed.
When scan is turned off by pushing the SCAN switch, the radio will return
to the SELECTED channel.

Display

Channel indicator
While no signal is being received, the channel indicator will always show
the SELECTED channel. When an active channel is received, the channel
indicator will show the received channel.
SCN indicator
When the SCAN button is pushed, the radio will light the SCN indicator
and begin scanning. The SCN indicator will flash when the microphone is
placed off-hook to show the radio is no longer scanning (only if the radio is
PC programmed not to scan off-hook).

Transmitting While In Scan:

Transmitter operation in scan is determined by the PC programming of
the radio's personality. A flow chart is provided in this section to summarize
the scan operation described below.
