group scan sEt
(
This function is only available in the EVX-5400
)
You may wish to have the Scanner pass through more than one Group during the
scanning process (normally, scanning is performed within the current group only).
To include the current Group in the scanning loop, press, (or press and hold), the
assigned
PF
key (the “

” icon will appear on the display). To remove a current
Group from Group Scan, press, (or press and hold), the assigned
PF
key again (the
“

” icon will disappear from the display).
ta scan
Press, (or press and hold), the assigned
PF
key to toggle the TA (Talk Around)
scan feature “On” and “Off.”
While TA scan is enabled, the transceiver will search both the transmit and receive
frequencies (In the
EVX-5400
, the “ ” icon will blink on the display). When a
signal is encountered on the receive frequency, the transceiver will pause until the
signal disappears (In the
EVX-5400
, the “ ” icon will appear but not blink on the
display). When a signal is encountered on the transmit frequency, the transceiver
will check for activity on the receive frequency every few seconds (interval pro-
grammed by your Vertex Standard dealer).
Note: The TA Scan feature does not activate on a Simplex Channel.
talK around
Press, (or press and hold), the assigned
PF
key to activate the Talk Around feature
when you are operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit
frequencies, utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to
bypass the repeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature
has no effect when you are operating on “simplex” channels, as the receive and
transmit frequencies are already the same.
In the
EVX-5300
, when the Talk Around feature is activated, the Transceiver Sta-
tus Indicator (“
A
”, “
B
” or “
C
”) will illuminate if the “Talk Around” status is as-
signed to one of the Transceiver Status Indicators.
