control head display
Making a Call in Scan Mode
If you wish to make a call when the radio is in scan
mode, lift the microphone off the microphone clip
to suspend scanning. If the radio has halted scanning
to monitor the traffic on a channel, it remains on
that channel when you lift the microphone off the
clip. If scanning has not halted, the radio reverts to
the programmed default transmit (“home”) chan-
nel.
Priority Scanning
One or two priority scan channels may be set.
These channels are scanned more often than other
channels and are scanned periodically when a non-
priority channel is busy.
Voting
Voting works the same way as scanning, except the
group’s member channels carry the same traffic and
the radio searches for and stops on the channel with
the strongest signal.
