Using the receiver in scan mode
9480 HF SSB transceiver 6-9
Using selective call in scan mode
Selective call scanning ensures that you are only alerted when the incoming calls are
specifically addressed to you.
This facility also allows the transceiver to store in memory the addresses of up to ten
stations that may have tried to contact the transceiver whilst it was unattended. These
addresses may have been transmitted over any of the programmed channels.
The first eight channels of the scan are used for selective call scanning.
For networks using this facility, it is important for the calling station to transmit a
long preamble. For more details on selective calling, refer to Section 5, Using
selective call.

transceiver, the scan
