Your radio also performs a dual-mode scan. If you are on a digital channel, and your radio locks onto an
analog channel, your radio automatically switches from digital mode to analog mode during the call. If you
are on an analog channel, and your radio locks onto a digital channel, your radio automatically switches from
analog mode to digital mode during the call.
