Scan Modes
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels or channels
within a Group. Your Dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel "scan list" .
Normal Channel Scan
During programming of the radio, any channel can be selected as a scanned channel. The scan list will be
activated by switching to the channel that was selected as the scan list channel during programming of the
system parameters. The user shall active scanning by selecting the scanned channel for current channel.
While the radio is scanning, the LED shall flash green as the radio scans. Once the radio has enabled scan,
the radio shall traverse through the pre-programmed scan list. The time spent on receiving a channel in the
scan list is referred to as the scan speed time. When an incoming call is detected and decoded, scanning
shall stop and the radio shall enter Un-muted Busy Mode or Correct Call Mode. After the call has ended,
the radio shall enter Un-muted Busy Mode or Correct Call Mode for a pre-programmed period of scan wait
time. If the radio receives a call from the same caller before the scan wait time expires, the radio shall re-
enter Un-muted Busy Mode or Correct Call Mode and the scan wait time shall be reset. If the user is
permitted to respond to the caller, the scan wait time shall be reset. When the scan wait time expires, the
radio shall resume scanning.
Priority Channel Scan
This scan function can be set by PC program option. This function operates only when priority channel is
set. if radio has not a priority channel, this function not work although radio has scan channels. SP-6102
Radio scan which receiving signal or not at priority channel between scan channel and scan channel during
scanning each scan channel. If you try to TX on priority scanning, SP-3200 radio transmits according to
TX option by PC Program. Green led blinks also. Press the scan button or up/dn button to exit this function.
Other Scanning Features
This function makes the radio scanning between priority channel and lookback channel.
When the current channel is the lookback channel, The Priority Lookback Scan will auto_start.
Scan channel is only 2 channel (current lookback channel and priority channel). Lookback channel is
displayed “L” on Lcd. The lookback channel can be set by Pc Program. Other fuction is the same normal
scan function.
·Scan Channel Delete: To temporarily delete a channel from the scan list, simply press the G/H/L button
while scanning and stopped on the channel to be deleted. This will remove that channel from the scan list
until the channel is changed or the radio's power is reset. When power is restored or the scan list channel
position is again selected, the original Dealer programmed scan list will be activated.
· CTCSS/DCS/DTMF Scanning: The SP-6102 can be programmed by your Dealer to scan for tone. This
will help block out unwanted calls.
· Normal Scan TX: Allows a transmission only after a call is received, depending on the programmed
scan delay time. After the scan resumes, and a transmission is made, the radio will sound an alarm (two
beeps) , display_TX Inhibit and will not allow a transmission.
· Priority Scan TX: Allows a transmission after a call is received depending on programmed scan delay
time. The transmission will
be made on the channel that the call was received. After the scan resumes, if a transmission is made, the
radio will transmit on the programmed priority channel.
10
· Priority Only TX: Allows a transmission on the priority channel when scanning and not stopped on an
active channel. It can also be programmed to ( Remove) will always transmit on the priority channel if
scanning
or stopped on an active channel.
· Receive Only Scan: This allows only reception. If a transmission is made at any time, the radio will
sound an alarm (two beeps) ,, display TX inhibit and will not allow the transmission.
Scan List Edit
This function is editable and displayed when the radio sets up the group scan . You can edit your pre-
programmed Group Scan List by adding or deleting scan list from the Group Scan List.
To activate scan list editing, press the Menu button until the radio enters ‘Scan List Edit Mode’. Upon
entering ‘the Scan List Edit Mode’, the LCD will indicate the “ScnL ” message. To exit the scan list edit
function, Press the PTT.
The radio will display the scan channel number by ‘S’ Icon On or Off. You can change the scan channel by
up or down button. To add or delete this channel from the scan list, press the monitor button. When added,
the ‘S’ Icon will display on the LCD display window. When deleted, the ‘S’ Icon will disappear on the
LCD display window.
Priority Channel Edit
This function is editable and displayed when the radio sets up the group scan . To activate Priority channel
editing, press the Menu/scan button until the radio enters ‘Priority channel Edit Mode’. Upon entering ‘the
Priority channel Edit Mode’, the LCD will indicate the “Pscn ” message. To exit the Priority channel edit
function, Press the PTT.
The radio will display the Priority channel number by ‘P’ Icon On or Off. You can change the Priority
channel by up or down button. To change the priority channel, press the monitor button. If selected the
priority channel, the ‘P’ Icon will display on the LCD display window. When deleted, the ‘P’ Icon will
disappear on the LCD display window.
The Priority channel is only one setting up the each Group. If pressed the monitor button, Current Channel
is changed the Priority channel and then previous priority channel is deleted.
if the look back channel is setting up in the current Group, it can not deleted the Priority channel and the
Look back channel is not changed the Priority channel
Squelch Options
The radio shall support three different squelch options: CTCSS, DCS, Squelch defeat(Monitor). Each
channel shall have its squelch option set during dealer programming. For each transmit operation, the
squelch option shall be implemented if the channel is deemed not busy.
CTCSS
The radio shall support the 47 CTCSS tones and non-standard CTCSS tones ranging from 50Hz to 300Hz
in 0.1Hz increments. All the tones shall be set up during dealer programming.
• TX operation : Upon pressing PTT, the radio shall encode the channel’s programmed CTCSS tone and
enter TX mode. The tone shall last for the duration of the transmission.
• End of TX operation : Upon leaving TX mode, the radio may employ dealer programmable squelch tail
elimination functions.
• RX operation : When the proper CTCSS tone is decoded, the radio shall enter correct call state from busy
state. When the proper CTCSS tone is no longer being decoded, the radio shall enter busy state from
correct call state.
DCS
11
The Radio shall support the encoding and decoding of 83 normal and inverted DCS data.
• TX operation : Upon the pressing of PTT, the radio shall encode the programmed DCS bit pattern for the
selected channel and enter TX mode. The data shall last for the duration of the transmission.
• End of TX operation : Upon leaving TX mode, the radio may employ squelch tail elimination. This shall
be done by sending a turn off code.
• RX operation : The radio shall decode the incoming data stream to determine if there is a match with the
pre-programmed DCS data. If the DCS data is properly decoded, the radio shall enter correct call state
from busy state. When the proper DCS data is longer being decoded, the radio shall enter busy state from
correct call state.
