BK Radio
Scan in Tone Mode
The Aurora radio is capable of scanning and
receiving channels with CTCSS tone guards
or CDCSS Code Guards. When you are on a
scanned channel with a carrier present, the
radio will try to decode the proper tone. If it
does, you will hear the message.
If the channel has a carrier present, but the
tone is incorrect, the radio skips that channel
(removes it from the scan list) for a period of
3 seconds, and then adds it back to the scan
list.
Channels with radio paging codes assigned to
the receive frequency of the channel cannot
be part of a group’s scan list.
Scan in Monitor Mode
If you are listening to a signal on a scanned
channel, the radio will stay on that channel as
long as your radio keeps receiving the signal.
It does not matter if the channel has a Code
Guard or a radio paging code assigned to it
unless busy channel lockout is set for that
particular channel.
Transmit on Priority Channel
The Aurora radio has a feature that lets you
transmit on the priority channel while in scan
mode (see priority channel operation on
page 48).
