SCAN OPERATION
Group and priority scans
Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel
while scanning only specied channels. This is useful when
waiting for calls on the priority channel or several specified
channels.
Group and priority scans behave differently when transmit-
ting. During group scan, transmission is possible on a busy
channel only. During priority scan, transmission is possible on
a priority channel (or start channel) only.

desired channels such as usually busy channels. This
speeds up the scan interval. All memory channels may be
set as tag channels by default.
For group scan, set only often-used channels as tag chan-
nels. All memory channels may be set as tag channels by
default.
