Scan
When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the
programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice
activity.
The yellow LED blinks and the scan icon appears on the status
bar.
During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and
your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically
switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of
the call. This is also true for the reverse.
There are two ways of initiating scan:
•
Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the
channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your
radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start
on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel
where scan was initiated.
•
Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts
scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto
Scan enabled.
NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus and
Linked Capacity Plus.
