SCAN
Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite
frequencies.
Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your
operating efficiency.
This transceiver provides the following types of scans:
Band Scan
Scans all frequencies on the current band.
Program Scan
Scans the specified frequency ranges stored in Memory
channels L0/U0 ~ L2/U2.
Memory Scan
Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels.
Call Scan
Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO
frequency or Memory channel.
Priority Scan
Checks the activities on the Priority channel (Pr) every 3
seconds.
Note:
When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver
stops at a busy frequency and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS
code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiver unmutes.
Otherwise, it resumes scanning.
