Radio Wide Features
• If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide scanning, scanning continues
normally.
4.12.3 Scan Hold Time
When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a delay before
scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents another message from being
received before a response can be made. The delay after transmitting a call ensures that a
response is heard instead of another message occurring on some other channel.
Separate delay times are programmable for radio wide and priority scanning. With radio
wide scanning, delays of 2-7.5 seconds are programmable in 0.5-second steps. With
priority scanning, delays of 0-7.5 seconds are programmable in 0.5-second steps. With
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked scanning, scan delays of 0-8 seconds can be
programmed in 0.5-second steps.
4.12.4 Transmitting in the Scan Mode
Priority Scan Mode - When the transmitter is keyed while scanning is enabled, the
transmission may occur on various channels as follows.
Conventional Operation - Transmissions can be programmed to always occur on
the priority, selected, or receive channel (if applicable). Refer to Section 5.10 for
more information.
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Operation - If scanning is halted to
receive a message, programming determines if transmissions occur on the selected or
active channel. Transmissions at other times occur on the selected channel.
Radio Wide Scan Mode - The radio can be programmed to transmit on the selected or
active channel similar to SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operation just
described.
4.12.5 Nuisance Channel Delete
With priority scanning, channels can be temporarily deleted from the scan list, for
example, if messages become annoying. This feature is not available with radio wide
scanning. Channels can also be permanently added or deleted from a scan list as described
in the next sections. Proceed as follows to temporarily delete a channel:
Note The selected channel and also conventional priority channels cannot be deleted from the
scan list.
