Scan Operations
22
NOTE
While scanning is in progress, if the
Push-To-Talk
(PTT) Button (6)
is pressed, the radio would trans-
mit on the
Home Channel
. However, if the radio has
stopped scanning and is receiving signals from a
particular channel, all transmit and receive activity
would be performed on that channel. Once the
scan locks at a channel, a short “hang time” (about
7 seconds) occurs.This is to allow a response to be
made before scanning resumes.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
When the radio is scanning, it would stop at any chan-
nel with activity. A channel that generates unwanted
signals continuously is called a
Nuisance Channel
. To
temporarily remove the channel from the scan list:
• Press and hold (for about 2 seconds) while
scan locks on the Nuisance Channel.
NOTE
Two medium-pitched “beeps” are sounded, indicat-
ing that the radio has temporarily removed the
Nui-
sance Channel
from its scan list.
NOTE
If an attempt to perform a
Nuisance Channel Delete
on the
Home Channel
is made, an
Invalid Button
Press
alert tone will sound and no action will be
taken. This ensures the availability of a channel
when the radio is used to transmit.
IMPORTANT
To add a deleted channel back into the scan list,
exit and reenter the scan function or restart the
radio.
