Scan
The radio has a scanning function for tagged voice channels. Any available voice
channel, including weather and private channels, can be tagged and added to the
scanning sequence. As default the radio scans with priority scanning of channel
16. If a signal is received while in any scanning mode, only channel 16 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 tap WATCH and then SCAN.
To stop scanning tap WATCH and then STOP, or push PTT on the speaking
device.
To tag a channel for scanning:
1. Turn the channel selector knob until the wanted channel is in the display.
2. Tap WATCH and then 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:
1. Turn the channel selector knob until the tagged channel is displayed.
2. Tap TAG to remove the tag.
To see only tagged channels tap WATCH and then FILTER and turn the channel
selector knob. Tap FILTER again to leave the FILTER function. For details how to
set up the scanning function see RADIO on page 40.
The displayed working channel is temporarily included in the
scanning list (although no TAG icon is shown).
