Talking and Listening

Scan (T5820 Only)

By Scanning, you can monitor Channels and Codes for transmissions and lock in on

the one that interests you. More importantly, you can find someone in your group who

has accidentally changed Channels and is talking during your scan.

To start scanning, briefly press and release the

J. If you activate scan while your

code is set to

0, then the radio will check for activity on each Channel regardless of

the Code in use on that Channel. If you activate scan while the Code is set on

1 to

38, the radio will check for activity on each Channel, but only for Codes 1 to 38.

Transmissions using Code

0 are ignored. When the radio detects Channel activity, it

stops on that Channel and displays the Code in use.

While the radio is scanning,

h will display and scroll through the Channels. When

activity is detected on a Channel, the radio will stop scanning and you will hear

whatever transmissions are detected. The radio’s display will show the Channel and

Code on which activity was detected.

If you want to respond to the transmission, press the

button within 5 seconds and

you can respond. To stop scanning, briefly press and release the

Scan Advance

If scan stops on a Channel that you don’t want to listen to, briefly press either the [

and

] to resume scanning for the next active Channel.
