DEFINITION Determines which channel the radio will revert to when either the microphone is
taken off hook or transmits while the scanner has stopped (hanging) on activity.
DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: N
Choices: ■ Y ■ N
Y If Scan Talkback is enabled (Y), the radio will remain on the currently
active channel when transmitting and/or mic is taken off hook.
N If disabled (N), then the radio will revert to the home channel.
DEPENDENCIES Applies to all scan lists (user and mode-slaved).
EXCEPTIONS Does not affect radio operation when scanning with no activity present (scan bars
on the display). In such circumstances the radio always reverts to the home chan-
nel.
RECOMMENDATIONS Enable talkback for most customers; disable when most channels are being
scanned for receive-only purposes. Some public safety users prefer to disable Scan
Talkback.
