Tait TP9500 - Scanning a Group of Channels

Suspending a channel from a voting group
Usersmaybeabletousethefunctionkeyprogrammedfornuisancedeletetotemporarilydeleteoneofthechannels
fromthevotinggroup.
Whenthatvotinggroupisnextselected,oraftertheradiohasbeenturnedoffandthenon,thedeletedchannelis
againpartofthevotinggroup.
Alternatively,thefunctionkeyprogrammedforvotingmaybeprogrammedsothatashortkeypressturnsonvoting,
andalongkeypressactivatesnuisancedelete.
•Pressandholdthefunctionkeyprogrammedforvotingtoremovethecurrentchannelfromthevotinggroup.
Iftheoperationhasbeensuccessful,themessageChannel nuisance deleted appearsonthedisplay.
Scanning a Group of Channels
Thescanfunctionisusedtomonitoraprogrammedgroupofchannels,lookingforactivity.Whiletheradioisscanning
foractivity,thescanningiconappearsonthedisplay.Whenactivityisdetectedonachannelinthescangroup,the
radiostopsonthatchannel.Theradiounmutesandthecallcanbeheard.Scanningresumesoncethechannelisno
longerbusy.
ThesectionSelectingaScanorVotingGroupexplainshowtoactivatescanning.
Standard and background scanning
Thetwotypesofscanningthatmaybeavailableontheradioarestandardscanning,andbackgroundscanning.Back-
groundscancanonlybeactivatedbyusingafunctionkeyprogrammedforbackgroundscan.Itdiffersfromstandard
scanninginthatthechannelthatwasselectedwhenbackgroundscanwasactivatedisalsoincludedasa
scan-groupmember.
Making a call while scanning
Tomakeacallwhileyourradioisscanning:
1.PressthePTTkeytotransmit.Ifbackgroundscanisactive,theradiowillnowcallthecurrentlyselected
channel.
2.Ifstandardscanisactiveandtherehasbeennorecentactivityonthechannel,thenthechannelthatis
calleddependsonthewaytheradiohasbeenprogrammed.Thepossibleoptionsare:
• theradiocallsapredeterminedchannele.g.thedispatcher,
• theradiocallsthechannelwhereactivitywaslastdetected,or
• theradiocallsthelastfreechannel.
3.Whenthecalledpartyresponds,proceedwiththeconversation.
Suspending a channel from a scanning group
Ifamemberchannelofascangroupisbusyforalongtimeandtheuserdoesnotwishtoheartheconversation,the
usermaybeabletousethefunctionkeyprogrammedfornuisancedeletetotemporarilydeleteitfromthescangroup.
