SCAN OPERATION

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on
different conventional or trunked modes by scanning a
scan list of modes. This list can be programmed with
the Customer Programming Software (CPS) or user
programmable.
Three types of scan operation are available depending
on radio model.
Trunking Comprises modes that are all from the
Priority Monitor same trunked system.
Conventional Comprises conventional-only modes.
Comprises conventional modes and
Talkgroup trunked modes from more than one
Scan trunking system. Priority operation is
NOT available in this type of list.
Your radio may support both priority and non-priority
scanning. With priority scanning enabled, a scan list
can have one mode assigned as the first priority mode,
and a second as the second priority mode.
Automatic scanning (autoscan) can be programmed
through the CPS. If autoscan is enabled for a mode,
your radio begins scanning, using the mode's scan list,
whenever you select that mode. The radio continues
autoscanning until you select a mode that does not
have autoscan enabled.
