Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown
parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed
channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective. The basic scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the
22 channels as you have set them (or with the default code
value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels
for any and all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code
value temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) the radio is set to when you start the
scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned
more often than the other 21 channels, and the radio will respond
quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1.
Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the
display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel
and code combinations.
2.
When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel
and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission.
3.
To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within five seconds after the end of the transmission.
4.
The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five
seconds after the end of any received activity.
5.
To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
To start Advanced Scanning:
1.
Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.
2.
Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the
display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels.
No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.
3.
When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or
NO code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission. Any Interference Eliminator Code that may be
in use by that party will be detected and displayed.
4.
To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within
five seconds of the end of the transmission. The radio will
transmit using the newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.
5.
The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five
seconds after the end of any received activity.
6.
To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
Scanning Notes:
1.
If you press
while the radio is scrolling through inactive
channels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”.
Scanning will resume five seconds after the end of your
transmission. You may press the
key to stop scanning at
any time.
2.
If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may
immediately resume the scan by briefly pressing
or
.
3.
If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission,
you may temporarily remove that channel from the scan list
by pressing and holding
or
for three seconds. You
may remove more than one channel in this way.
4.
To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the
radio off and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning
mode by pressing
.
5.
You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.
6.
In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for
one transmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set
that detected code on that channel to permanently use the
detected code.
Weather Receiver
