LAND MOBILE RADIOHL-1000 SERIES LAND MOBILE RADIOHL-1000 SERIES1615Additional Channel Scan Instructions (1) Channel Scan OrderThere are two kinds of channel scans: Priority Scan Channel and GeneralScan Channel. General Scan Channel is a channel that is used to commu-nicate on, but is not an essential communication channel. Priority ScanChannel is a channel that is of more importance and is frequently used tocommunicate on. If no Priority channel has been assigned, the radio willscan all general channels programmed by starting with the first channel andfinishing with the last channel. Once a priority channel has been assigned,the radio will scan two general channels followed by the priority channel.(General Scan Channel 1 - General Scan Channel 2 - Priority Channel 1 -followed by the next two general channels.) If two Priority Scan Channelsare assigned, the radio will scan two general channels then the prioritychannel 1, followed by the next two general channels, then priority channel2: (General Scan Channel 1 - General Scan Channel 2 - Priority Channel 1- Channel 3 - General Scan Channel 4 - Priority Channel 2 - followed by thenext two general channels.)ExampleAs previously mentioned, there are two kinds of channel scans: PriorityScan Channel and General Scan Channel. For example, the radio is programmed to receive and transmit on tenchannels. Of these channels, two Priority Scan Channels are assigned;Priority Scan Channel 1 is assigned to Channel 5 and Priority ScanChannel 2" is assigned to channel 6. Therefore, the channel scan willoccur as follows.
