PRIORITY SCANNING Priority Scan - When the scanner is scanning a Conventional System, it interrupts scanning, based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, to check priority channels for activity. The more channels you have set to priority, the longer the interruption will be. The Favorites List(s) and System(s) containing the priority channel(s) have to be enabled (and not Avoided) or the scanner will display Priority Scan No Channel. Priority DND - The scanner checks priority channels, based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, only when not receiving other conventional channels so there is no interruption in scanning with conventional systems. Priority ID Scan - This function is similar to conventional priority although there is no interruption during the transmission. Priority is checked in between transmissions, when the scanner is receiving the control channel, and during the channel delay period. The scanner can only look for priority IDs in the trunked system it is currently scanning. Preemptive Priority ID Scanning - For Motorola systems that have channel priority active on the system, if you flag a channel as priority and the system also has that TGID identified as a priority channel, the scanner will preempt any current transmission if the TGID becomes active. The highest priority is for channels in System Quick Key 0. The lowest priority is for channels in System Quick Key 99. Priority for priority channels in the same channel Department follows the order in which the channels were created. To use Priority Scan, you must first set your Priority Channels. To use Priority ID Scan, you must also enable Priority ID Scan for each system. To toggle Priority Modes, press PUSH/FUNC then .NO/PRI. Priority is always on for a trunked system, if enabled in the system. SCANNING ORDER With previous scanners, you selected banks to scan. With this scanner, you select Favorites Lists, Systems, Departments, and Sites to scan by assigning Quick Keys to them. Scanning is performed in a mixture of FLQK order and SQK order. The scanner does not scan all Systems in one Favorites List and then move to the next List. For each Favorites List with a quick key, starting with 0, the scanner scans each 0 SQK in FLQK order and then move sto the next set of SQKs for each list. Example: FLQK 0, SQK 0; FLQK 1, SQK 0.... FLQK 98, SQK 99; FLQK 99, SQK, 99. Department and Site Quick Keys are scanned with each System. Systems with the same quick key are scanned in order of creation. The Database is scanned next. Then, Systems with no quick key (including created Quick Save Systems) are scanned and in order of creation. Conventional Channels and Departments within Systems are also scanned in order of creation. TGIDs are not really scanned. The scanner checks for any activity in the trunking system and: • Stops on all unavoided TGIDs when ID Search mode is set to On. • Stops only on programmed TGIDs when ID Search mode is set to Off. Next, any Custom Searches (enabled for Search with Scan) are scanned in order (Close Call Hits last). 11
