SD-170E Series Operation Channel select / SCAN Your radio‟s channel can be selected by inner DIP-S/W or serial command inputted from external control system. To change channel by inner DIP-S/W (), you should open the upper cover and then look for the DIP-S/W() on the digital board of the bottom cover.
Scan modes Scanning is a dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel “scan list” Channel scan Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by serial commands. If a conversation is detected on any of the channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel and you will be able to hear the conversation.
