OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER
SCANNING CHANNELS
ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER GETTING STARTED GUIDE 41
Scanning channels
If you intend to receive calls on several channels, switch on scanning.
When scanning is switched on, the transceiver sequentially selects each
channel/mode in your scan tables to detect incoming calls. The channels
are scanned in a continuous cycle. By default, mute is switched on
automatically when scanning is switched on.
NOTE: Only those scan tables that are set to be scanned have the
channels scanned. Up to 100 channels may be scanned.
By default, when the transceiver detects a call addressed to your station,
it stops scanning and notifies you according to the type of call received.
When you press to end the call, scanning resumes. If you do not
press this key to end the call, or any other key within a pre-determined
timeout, the transceiver automatically ends the call and resumes
scanning.
NOTE: The default standby state for the transceiver is to return to
scanning so that it is ready to receive calls across a range
of frequencies.
When the transceiver detects a signal, it notifies you according to the
mute setting selected. If your transceiver is set to notify you when voice
is detected (V), you can pause scanning, select the channel/mode on
which the voice was heard, then resume scanning when required. Voice
mute also detects calls that are addressed to any station on the scanned
frequency, and any other channel disturbances. If your transceiver is set
to selcall mute (S), it only pauses scanning when it detects a call
addressed to your station, regardless of the call system used.
Your choice of voice or selcall mute depends on whether or not you
have to detect voice signals, and how much noise and traffic you want
to hear.
It is recommended that scanning is switched on when you are not using
the transceiver to communicate so that you are able to receive calls on
any frequency in the scanned scan tables.
