There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective. The basic scanmode
uses the channel and code combinations for each of the22 channels
as you have set them (or with the default codevalue of 0). The
“Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channelsfor any and all codes,
detect any code in use, and use thatcode value temporarily for that
channel.Priority is given to the “home channel,” i.e., the channel
(andcode) the radio is set to when you start the scan. This meansthe
initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more oftenthe other
channels, and the radio will respond quickly toany activity occurring
on the home channel as a priority.To start Basic Scanning:
