Scanning
Use the scan function to do the following:
•
Search the 8 channels for transmissions from unknown
parties.
•
Find someone in your group who has accidentally changed
channels or
•
To quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective.
•
The "Basic Scan" mode uses the channel and code
combinations for each of the 8 channels as you have set
them (or with the default code value of 1).
•
The "Advance Scan" mode will scan all channels for any and
all codes; detect any code in use and use that code value
temporary for that channel.
•
Priority is given to the "Home Channel" (i.e. the channel and
Interference Eliminator Code your radio is set to when you
start the scan). This means the initial channel (and code
settings) is scanned more often than the other 7 channels
and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring
on the home channel as a priority.
