Priority Scan
Priority Scan scans the memory channels
in ascending (or descending) order, but
checks for traffic on Channel 16 between
each memory channel. This makes it more
difficult to miss important traffic on
Channel 16.
To enter Priority Scan Mode, press and
hold the SCAN key for two seconds. (Fig.
13d)
If Channels 6, 22, and 72 are entered into
memory, the scan sequence will go from
Channel 6 to 16 to 22 to 16 to 72 to 16 to
6 to 16 and so on.
Notes on Scanning
• Pressing the SCAN key while scan-
ning will stop scanning and revert to
the Start Channel.
• You cannot scan channels while in
Weather Mode.
• If you have not entered any channels
into scan memory, the radio will
sound the error tone when the SCAN
key is pressed.
• If there is only one channel in scan
memory, the radio will sound the
error tone and change to that channel.
(Fig. 13e)
• If the PTT key is pressed while in
Scanning Mode, but while the radio
is stopped to receive traffic, the radio
will transmit on the current channel
before the continuing to scan.
• If the PTT key is pressed while scan-
ning and the radio is not stopped for
traffic, the radio will transmit on the
Start Channel. This is defined as the
channel which was shown on the
radio’s display prior to pressing the
SCAN key.
