ZonesandScanning
Therearetwomaintypesofscanning;scangroupsandzonescan.Thescanbehaviorwhen
zonesarechangeddependsonthecurrentscantypeinprogress.
Ascangroupisalistofchannelsusedforscanningorvoting.Thescangroupappearsinthe
channellist,andisselectedbytheuserwiththeSELknob.
Iftheradioiscurrentlyonascangroupchannel,scanningstopswhenthezoneischanged.
Iftheinitialchannelintheselectedzoneisascangroup,thenscanningresumeswiththat
scangroup.
Zonescangivestheusertheabilitytoscanselectedchannelsinthecurrentzone.Channels
tobeincludedinthescanaretagged.ZonescanisstartedandstoppedwiththeSCANkey.
Ifzonescanisactivewhenzonesarechangedthenzonescancontinuestobeactiveinthe
selectedzoneifthatzonehaschannelstaggedforzonescan.Ifzonescanisnotpossiblein
theselectedzone,(e.g.thereareinsufficienttaggedchannels)thenscanstopsandtheradio
changestotheinitialchannelinthezone.
Channelsinascangrouparenotnecessarilyfromthecurrentzone.Whilescanningthe
radioremainsinthecurrentzoneasitchangeschannelsinthescangroup.Ifasignalis
receivedorPTTispressedsotheradioholdsonachannelinthescangroup,theradio
remainsinthecurrentzone.Iftheuserexitsscanwhileholdingonachannelinthescan
grouptheradiomaychangetothezoneoftheholdchanneloroptionallyremaininthe
currentzone.
ZoneEditing
Zonescanbecreated,modifiedanddeletedusingtheRadioprogrammeronly.Zonescannot
bemodifiedbytheuser.
Ifzonesareenabled,
theremustbeatleastonezoneintheradio.Ifthereisonlyonezone,
thenallchannelsintheradiowillbeinthatzone.
Azonemustcontainatleastonechannelforthatzonetobeenabled.
Ifnozonenameisspecifiedtheradiogenerates
azonename:ZONE1,ZONE2etc.
Azonecanbedisabledwiththeradioprogrammer.Adisabledzonecannotbeselectedby
theuserintheradio,however,thezoneanditschannelswillstillexistinthememory.
Azoneisdeletedwhenallchannelsinthatzone
arealsodeletedormovedfromthatzone.
Ifthezonecontainschannelsthataremembersofascangroupthatisinanotherzone,then
