Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown
parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed
channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and
advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan mode
uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels as
you have set them ( or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced
Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any
code in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan.
This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often
than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any
activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the display, and the
radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
