      If the [SCAN(DW)] key on your Standard Horizon Transceiver does not start the scan, it could be due to the following reasons: * No channels are memorized. Use the [MEM] key to enter desired channels into the transceiver’s memory. * The squelch is not adjusted properly. Adjust the squelch to the threshold or to the point where noise just disappears. Be aware that further adjustment of the squelch control may eliminate incoming signals.
