9.24 SCANNING
9.24.1 Selecting Scan Modes
Three scanning modes are available for the radio, but only one can be active at any time. Changing the
scanning mode changes the way the radio scans voice calls for all of the profiles in the radio personality,
no matter which profile is or becomes active.
The choice of scanning mode broadens or narrows the span of communications with all the groups in
profiles you listen to, but does not affect your interaction with those groups you talk with.
The scanning modes available for selection may be limited by the administrator to a subset of the three
scanning modes.
Table 9-8: Scan Modes
SCAN
MODE
EXPLANATION
None
Eliminates distractions.
Full communications (listen and talk) with the selected Talk Group.
No calls received from other Talk Groups.
Normal
(Default)
The user can scan all Talk Groups in the active profile that are not locked out as long as there is demand on
the site.
Priority (P1, P2, and P3) groups are user selectable.
Receive calls from more than one Talk Group, if available from the current site.
Allows dragging of the selected Talk Group, P1, P2, P3, and emergency Talk Group (in emergency state) to
the site on which the radio is registered. (If other calls are available at the site, they also can be heard but they
will not be actively dragged.)
The default emergency Talk Group, as well as any emergency-enabled Talk Groups, is only dragged if it is in
emergency mode.
Fixed
Functions the same as Normal Scan Mode, except the priority groups are fixed to the selected profile’s pre-
defined P1 and P2 groups (configured via the UAS).
The scanning mode choice remains in effect until it is changed. Even if the radio is turned off, the current
scanning mode selection is saved for the next use.

during last use. The last selection made remains in effect until a new selection is made from the Scan
Mode menu.
