WX Auto Search (SCAN) Mode Function:
The purpose of the WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is to
enable the receiver to automatically scan for an active WX
channel under the following conditions:
1. WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is On.
2. WX Alert or SAME is On (one or the other but not both).
3. The radio is tuned to a Marine VHF channel and has
entered Power Save mode (meaning there is no signal
activity or user input for 10 seconds).
4. The radio software has detected that the current WX
channel signal level has dropped below a preset minimum
level or is gone completely.
Once these conditions have been met, the software will then
scan the WX channels looking for an active WX channel.
When an active WX channel is found it will stop the scan
and use the new WX channel to look for the standard
1050Hz alert tone or SAME data depending on WX setup.
