SCAN OPERATION

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
In addition, the weather alert and auto scan functions are
available for standby convenience. These functions can be
activated simultaneously, depending on the setting in set
mode. (pgs. 18, 19)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
*
Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in
sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal
is detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal
disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal
disappears.

Previously selected weather channel
when weather alert function is ON.
Set the TAG channels (scanned channels) before scanning.
Clear any TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as digital communications.
Choose priority or normal scan in set mode. (p. 18)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01
WX*
CH 05
*
Previously selected weather channel
when weather alert function is ON.
Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all TAG
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a
TAG channel.
