Scanning Systems
To begin scanning programmed systems, press Scan.
The BC246T scans all unlocked systems in all activated
quick-key groups.
Notes:
• If no systems are programmed, or all systems are
locked out, an error message appears. Program a
system or select a system to scan.
• When scanning multiple systems, the BC246T scans
systems according to the assigned quick key.
Systems assigned to quick key 1 are scanned first,
then 2, 3, 4, etc. Systems not assigned to a quick key
are scanned last. Within a quick key, systems are
scanned in the order they were assigned.
• Within a system, channels are scanned according to
the assigned channel group, with the same priority as
described above for systems.
• The BC246T scans a system for the duration you set
using the System Hold Time option (see “Setting the
System Hold Time” on Page 63). For trunked sys-
tems, the scanner moves to the next system after the
hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and
the channel delay expires. Conventional systems
