7-8-4 Scan FREE
The scan FREE time parameter determines how long the AR8600 will remain on an active frequency
before resuming scan even though the frequency is still active. This is useful if you wish to gain a snap
shot of activity without the AR8600 being tied to a busy frequency for long periods of time (such as when
monitoring active amateur band repeaters etc). Scan FREE time saves you having to manually
intervene to force the scan process to resume and saves the need to lockout memory channels using
the channel PASS facility. The limits are OFF and 01 to 60 seconds (default OFF).
Scan FREE time is configured via the SCAN-GROUP menu. Use the key sequence
to access the “SCAN-GROUP” menu. Use the ï ð keys to select the
SCAN-GROUP number between 1 and 9. ò six times to display the scan environment
parameter of FREE.

environment menu. Alternatively you may move to the next option (scan receive MODE) by pressing
the ò key.
While scanning, the LCD legend “FRE” is displayed to indicate that scan FREE time is in operation and
the scan process will only pause on active frequencies for the specified time.
7-8-5 Scan (receive) MODE
The scan receive MODE parameter enables selected receive modes to be scanned in isolation even
though memory banks may contain many different receive modes. This saves the need to lockout
memory channels using the channel PASS facility when only a certain receive mode is desired
(such as AM for airband monitoring etc).
Scan receive MODE is configured via the SCAN-GROUP menu. Use the key sequence
to access the “SCAN-GROUP” menu. Use the ï ð keys to select the
SCAN-GROUP number between 1 and 9. ò seven times to display the scan environment
parameter of MODE.
