When Multi-Site=Off, the scanner will find the first usable control channel in the control channel list and use it to track the system. When Multi-Site=Roam, the scanner will always attempt to lock on to control channels where the decoding quality is greater than Threshold Hi, and will search for new control channels when the decoding quality of a control channel drops below Threshold Lo. If no control channels are available that meet the Thresh-old Hi criteria, the scanner will seek the best control channel to use, and continue checking pe-riodically for a new control chan-nel that meets the Threshold Hi criteria. When Multi-Site=STAT, the scanner will track the system using every usable control chan-nel in the control channel list.
