Scan
The radio has a scanning function for tagged voice channels. Any SSB voice
channel can be tagged and added to the scanning sequence. In scan mode
MULTI, the tagged SSB voice channels and the DSC channel are watched in
turn (SSB voice — DSC — SSB voice 2 — DSC — etc). If a signal is received
while in MULTI scanning mode, the DSC channel continues to be watched.
If there is a signal in one of the scanned channels, the display shows the
channel in which the signal is received. If PTT is pushed while scanning, the
scanning stops, the radio is tuned into the displayed channel and
transmission starts immediately on the displayed working channel.
To start scanning push the soft key SCAN.
The SCAN menu is shown. Push START to
start scanning. To leave the SCAN menu, but
not the scanning procedure, push EXIT.
To stop scanning push STOP.
To tag a channel for scanning select the
wanted channel. Then push the soft key TAG.
The display shows the channel number and
the word TAG at the right side of the display.
To remove a channel from the scanning
sequence turn the selector knob until the
tagged channel is displayed. Then push the
soft key TAG to remove the tag.
To see all tagged channels push the soft key FILTER and turn the selector
knob. Push the soft key EXIT to leave the FILTER function. For details how
to set up the scanning function see Radio setup on page 43.
The displayed SSB channel is temporarily included in the scanning
list (although no TAG icon is shown).
