Common Radio Features

Scan

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different channels by

scanning a “scan list.” Each radio can have up to 20 different scan lists. The

channels to be scanned can be programmed with the radio service software or

manually by using the keypad.

Three types of scan lists are available (consult your service technician for

additional information):

• Trunking Priority Monitor — Comprises channels that are all from the

same trunking system (10 different channels maximum). This feature will

work only on systems that support it.

• Conventional — Comprises only conventional channels (10 different

channels maximum).

• Talkgroup Scan — Comprises conventional and trunked channels from

more than one trunking system (10 different channels maximum).

Priority operation is not available in this type of list.

There are also several types of scanning available:

• Priority-One Scanning — With priority-one

scanning enabled, one member of the scan list is

chosen as the priority-one member. Any activity

on the priority-one channel will be heard on the

speaker even if another channel in the scan list

has activity on it.

• Priority-Two and Non-Priority Scanning — In

addition to the priority-one channel being the

number one priority, a second channel can be

assigned as a priority-two channel, if desired.

The remaining members in the scan list can be

programmed as non-priority members of the

scan list.

• Automatic Scanning (Autoscan) — With this feature, the radio begins

scanning whenever you select a channel to which a scan list is assigned

(strapped). The radio will continue auto scanning until you select a

channel that does not have autoscan enabled.

• Operator-Selectable Scan — Scan can be programmed to be selected by a

softkey related button or a Scan On/Off Switch (see page 2).
