OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Scan
Scan allows you to monitor other channels to
detect conversations. When the radio detects a
transmission, it stops scanning and goes to the
active channel. This allows you to listen and
talk to people in that channel without having to
change channel. If there is valid channel
activity on Channel 2, the radio stays on
Channel 1 and you will not hear Channel 2.
After the talking has stopped in Channel 1, the
radio waits for 5 seconds before resuming scan
again.
•
To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or 2)
button. (Scan is defaulted on SB2 but can be
programmed to either SB1 or SB2 button via
CPS). When the radio detects channel activity, it
stops on that channel until the activity ends. You
can respond on that channel without having to
switch channels by pressing the PTT button. If no
transmission occurs within 5 seconds, scanning
resumes.
•
To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2
button (programmed for scan) again.
•
If you want to scan a channel without the
Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set
the code settings for the channels to '0' in the
CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode.
Note:
Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED
Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat.
