Scan Lists Section 4 - Radio-wide Features
4.12.1.2 Selecting a Priority Scan List
Note Only priority scan lists are selectable.
Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list that is normally selected by
all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable option to slave a particular
conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default list for all conventional
channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming). This slave feature is
programmed on the Edit Zone screen.
The default scan list (which is to be used by all conventional channels except those
belonging to slaved zones), can be temporarily changed by using the Scan List Select
option button or the menu parameter. A scan list selected in this manner is retained
through radio power down.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and Project 25 Trunked Channels - Each channel (talkgroup) can
be programmed so that one of the programmed lists is selected or scanning is disabled (No
List). In addition, channels can be programmed so that scanning is automatically enabled
(Auto Scan) when they are selected.
If the Scan (List) Select option button or menu parameter is programmed, the list that is
selected by all talk and announcement groups in the current system can be temporarily
changed by the user as follows. “No List” (scanning disabled) or “Programmed” (default
list) can also be selected if desired. The temporary programmed scan list is retained
through radio power down.
To change the currently selected scan list (all channel types), proceed as follows:
1 With scanning disabled ( icon not displayed), press the Scan List option button or
select the Scan Selct menu parameter.
2 The currently selected list is displayed as “List x”, where “x” is the currently selected
list. To exit without changing the selected list, simply press the Scan List option button
again or the <F1> button.
3 To select another list, press the Up/Down buttons. When the desired list is displayed,
select it and exit this mode by pressing the Scan List option button again or the <F1> or
<F2> button.
4.12.1.3 Editing a Priority Scan List
If the Scan Edit option button or menu parameter is programmed, conventional,
SMARTNET/SmartZone, and P25 Trunked priority (standard) scan lists can be user
programmed. Changes are permanent (cycling power does not reselect a default
condition). Proceed as follows:
1 Make sure that both priority and radio wide scanning are off ( icon not displayed).
Select a conventional or SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked channel corresponding
to the scan list being programmed.
