Scan Functions
The Scan Function allows the sequential searching of up to 16 channels if the selected
zone channel is programmed as a Scan channel, and 15 channels if the selected zone
channel is programmed as a Vote channel, for a valid signal (Carrier + CTCSS/DCS tone
for Analogue FM or Colour Code (for DMR). When found, the radio will stop on that
channel until the signal disappears.
To activate Scanning, select a channel that has been programmed as a Scan channel.
Once selected, the scanning will either start automatically, if programmed, or the
programmed scan function button will need to be pressed (FPP configurable).

disappears, the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time (FPP
configurable, typically 3 seconds) before resuming scanning.
If a Priority Channel is assigned to Scan mode, the radio will interleave a check of this
channel between each normal Scan channel.

second line of the display shows the name of the current selected zone while
scanning/voting.
The Channel can be changed by using the ▴ and ▾ keys. Other channels may be either
Scan or Normal channels, depending on the radio’s configuration.
Scanning is indicated by a rotating arrow icon. When scanning stops on a channel, on
the screen, the second line from the top shows the name of the channel from the scan
group that the radio has stopped on. If stopped on a channel, that channel can be
