ACTIVATING SCAN FUNCTIONS
The FG-2 has two scan modes. The most popular and most used is the
“BUSY
channel scan. This allows the radio to stop on a channel that someone is talking on.
When the radio stops on a “Busy” channel, the scan will stop and resume after about 5
seconds. The other is
“DUAL WATCH”
. This allows you to scan only two channels.
This is useful when you want to keep track of two other people.

”F
button the ”SCAN” icon (5) will begin flashing.

the channels are scanned up or down.
