Advanced Operation

Channel Scan Mode

During Channel Scan mode, the radio will rapidly switch

from channel to channel through all the channels. Whenever

any activity is detected, the radio will stop the scan for 10

seconds to allow you to listen briefly on that channel. The

radio will then continue to scan unless you switch out of the

Channel Scan mode. The radio will perform normal

scanning operations from either Marine (VHF) mode or

GMRS mode, but it will only scan in that band.

NOTE

The radio must be squelched for the Channel Scan

mode to function. See page 40 for Squelch

procedure.

To Enter Channel Scan:

1. From Marine or GMRS Standby mode, press the

SCAN button. The radio will immediately begin to

scan the entire channel map selected in the active

channel map. The SCAN icon will show on the LCD.

2. A signal on any channel will stop the scan for 10

seconds to allow you to listen to the traffic on that

location.

NOTE

After the channel scan stops to monitor a channel, as

long as you do not press any buttons within 10

seconds, your radio will automatically resume

scanning the Channel Scan channels.

3. Press the Channel Up/Down button to resume

scanning the Channel Scan channels or to change

the scan direction.

4. To EXIT Channel Scan mode, press the SCAN

button again. The SCAN icon will disappear from the

LCD and the radio will return to Marine or GMRS

Standby mode.
