Scan types
■
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has a Priority scan
and a Normal scan.
When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the weather
channel is also checked while scanning. (p. 98)
Set the Favorite channels (scanned channel) before scan-
ning. Clear the Favorite channels which inconveniently stop
scanning, such as those for digital communication use. (Refer
to the next page for details.)
Choose Priority or Normal scan in the Menu screen. (p.
97
)
PRIORITY SCAN
The Priority scan sequentially searches through all Favor-
ite channels while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal
disappears. When a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, the scan becomes a Dualwatch until the
signal disappears.
NORMAL SCAN
The Normal scan, like the Priority scan, sequentially
searches through all Favorite channels. However, unlike
the Priority scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless it is set
as a Favorite channel.
