Privacy Code Scan
•
Your microTALK radio can automatically scan the Privacy
Codes (either CTCSS 01 through 38 or DCS 01 through 104)
within one channel. Only one set of privacy codes (CTCSS
or DCS) can be scanned at a time.
To scan privacy codes:
1. While in Standby mode, press the
Channel Up or Channel Down button
to choose the channel on which you
wish to scan privacy codes.
2. Press the Mode button until either the CTCSS
or the DCS icon appears on the display and the
Scan icon and the privacy code numbers flash
on the display.
3. Press the Channel Up or Channel Down button
to begin scanning privacy codes
within the channel you selected.
The Scan icon will continue to be displayed
when privacy code scan is on. Your radio will
continue to scan privacy codes and stop as an
incoming transmission is detected. Your radio will
remain on that channel/privacy code for
10 seconds.
While setting privacy code scan, if you do not press
any buttons for 15 seconds, your radio
will automatically return to Standby mode on
the channel/privacy code that was displayed before
you entered mode functions.
During channel scan (while receiving an incoming transmission),
you can choose from the following:
a. Press and hold the Talk button to communicate on
that channel. Your radio will remain on that channel
and return to Standby mode.
b. Press the Channel Up or Channel Down button to
resume scanning channels.
If you press the Talk button while scanning, but more than
10 seconds after receiving a transmission, you will transmit
on the channel on which you last received a transmission.
This will return the radio to Standby mode.
If you do not press any button within 10 seconds after
receiving a scanned transmission, your radio will automatically resume
scanning channels.
During channel scan (while not receiving a transmission),
you can choose from the following:
a. Press and hold the Talk button to communicate on the channel
or channel/privacy code that was displayed before you entered
mode functions or the channel on which, during scanning, you last
received a transmission. This will then return the radio to Standby
mode.
b. Press the Mode button to proceed to set privacy
code scan on the channel that was either displayed before
you entered mode functions or on which, during channel scanning,
you last received a transmission (see page 19
for further details).
c. Press the Lock/Enter button to return to Standby mode
on the channel/privacy code that was displayed before you entered
mode functions or the channel on which, during scanning, you last
received a transmission.
