OPEN SCAN MODE
Open Scan allows any of the channels to be scanned for activity in an ascending
sequence (i.e. from the lowest channel to the highest). If a busy channel is found,
the scan will pause to allow the signal to be heard. Once the channel has been
clear for 5 seconds, the scan will resume automatically.
e.g. Scanning channels 1 – 8 in Open Scan.
The TX6600PRO has two separate Open Scan memories labelled OPEN1 and
OPEN2. Their operation is identical but each can be independently programmed
with a range of dierent channels. The OPEN1 scan memory has all 80 channels
factory-programmed. Any channels that are not required can be easily removed.
The OPEN2 scan memory is factory-programmed with all the repeater channels.
