Radio Performance 2-15
5.0 Radio Performance
5.1 Scanning
Feature
This allows activity on different communication channels to be monitored. Up to sixteen different
channels can be put into a scan list which are listened to sequentially.
Once scan has started, detection of an incoming call causes the radio to automatically switch to the
channel so the call can be received; only available in radios with more than one channel.
Benefits

Efficient communication - incoming calls are not missed even when they can be received from
more than one communication channel.

Simplifies the radio operation for users of multiple communication channels.
5.2 Nuisance Channel Delete
Feature
This allows channels which continually generate unwanted calls or noise to be temporarily removed
from the scan list. Deleted channels can be recovered by turning the radio off and back on again.
Benefit

Efficient radio operation as the radio just listens to channels where valid calls will be received.
5.3 Monitor
Feature
This allows voice activity on a channel to be listened to. It is particularly useful in radio systems
when a single communication channel is shared by several different teams of people, as it allows
individuals to check that the channel is free prior to making a call.
Benefit

Guaranteed successful communication first time, every time.
5.4 High / Low Output Power
Feature
The radio output power has two settings and these can be varied whilst the radio is being used.
Benefits

Low output power conserves the battery power so the battery will last longer.

Higher output power allow the radio to transmit over a greater distance so you can contact a
radio which is farther away.
