SCAN OPERATION (Except for the Dutch version)

■
Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to quickly locate signals over
a wide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority
scan setting and normal scan setting.
In addition, the “Weather alert*” and “Auto scan” functions
are also selectable for scanning. These functions can be
simultaneously activated, depending on the settings in the
SET mode.
(pp. 26, 27)
* For only the USA, EXP, and AUS versions.
Set the Favorite channels (scanned channel) before scan-
ning.
Clear those Favorite channels which are not needed or in-
conveniently stop scanning, such as digital communica-
tions.
Choose priority or normal scan in the SET mode. (p. 26)
NORMAL SCAN
CH 01 CH 02
WX*
CH 05 CH 04
CH 03
* Previously selected weather channel
when weather alert function is ON.
Normal scan, like priority scan, sequentially searches
through all Favorite channels. However, unlike priority
scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless it is set as a
Favorite channel.
PRIORITY SCAN
WX*
CH 01
CH 16
CH 02
CH 05 CH 04
CH 03
* Previously selected weather channel
when weather alert function is ON
Priority scan sequentially searches through all Favorite
channels while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is
detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal
disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other
than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal
disappears.
