NETWORK SCAN MODE
Network Scan allows a group of radio users to maintain communications even
when the band is congested. To achieve this, all members of the Network Scan
group must share a common CTCSS/DCS tone and a common set of Network
Scan channels. Once activated, Network Scan’s intelligent scanning algorithm
keeps track of clear channels within your scan group. When any member of the
group transmits, their radio automatically selects a clear channel to transmit on.
Other radios scanning in the same Network Scan group will then lock onto that
channel allowing all members of the group to join the conversation. If a signal
from someone who is not part of your Network Scan group appears on the chosen
channel, the group will automatically switch to a new clear channel at the next
transmission. In this way the group can continue to communicate with minimal
interference to or from other users.
Enabling Network Scan
Network Scan is normally switched o by default but can be enabled through the
menu.
NOTE: When you enable Network Scan you must also choose a suitable CTCSS or
DCS tone to be used by your Network Scan group. All members of your Network
Scan group must use this same tone.

F
