Using the transceiver

HF SSB transceiver user guide 3-23

Scanning for incoming calls

Scanning allows the transceiver to detect incoming calls on

more than one channel frequency. This is useful if you expect

to receive calls from several stations or from stations that

transmit on more than one frequency.

The transceiver scans the list of channels set up in a scan

table. It repeatedly scans each channel in the scan table until

an incoming call is detected on any of the channel

frequencies.

You can create up to three scan tables, each containing up to

ten channels. You select which scan table to use when you

start the transceiver scanning. For details on types of

scanning and how to set up a scan table, refer to the HF SSB

transceiver reference manual, Chapter 3, Scan table

creation.

If automatic scan table scanning is switched on, the

transceiver automatically starts scanning after a set time

(refer to the HF SSB transceiver reference manual, Chapter

8, Scan table automatic scanning start).

If you have set up any of the three scan tables for ALE

scanning, automatic scanning resumes with the last scan table

used. If there is no ALE scan table, automatic scanning

resumes with scan table 1.

During scanning, you can:

• change the mute setting (see Muting the transceiver on

page 3-18)

• temporarily pause the scan.

You pause scanning by rotating the

Select

knob on the

control panel. You can then use this knob to view information

about the channels in the scan table and listen on any of these

channels. You resume scanning immediately by pressing the

Scan

button. If you do not touch any button or knob for 30

seconds, scanning automatically starts.
