Scan
You can save any channel (except Weather channels) into memory and then use Scan
mode to monitor those channels from lowest to highest. If the radio detects a signal on a
channel, it stays on that channel as long as the signal is received; when the signal stops,
the radio continues scanning.
Using the Radio in Scan Mode

memory.
