5.13.1.3 Priority 2 Channel
This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2, P1,
C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. In addition, this channel will be scanned even while
actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and
activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can also
preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.
5.13.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning
Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional
channels while still maintaining trunked radio operation. The radio can scan a conventional scan list while
still receiving a trunked control channel and receiving trunked calls. Selection of which conventional scan
list is associated with a given trunked system is done using RPM2 and cannot be changed on the
radio. However, a user with access to the necessary menu layout (see Section 4.7) can edit the scan list
members (both trunked groups and conventional channels on the selected Conventional Priority
System). As the number of conventional channels being scanned increases, the time between scanning each
channel increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with the consequent increase in the number of
calls that will late-enter. To avoid missing calls, it is recommended to keep the number of conventional
channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer.
The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC.
5.13.3 Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only)
If vote scan is enabled via RPM2, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the best
audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always scanning. You cannot stop
scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. The scanning icon on the main screen indicates
that the radio is vote scanning versus, regular scanning.
If talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is disabled until talkaround is disabled again.
