System lockout is not available if you have only one selectable
system, and group lockout is available only if the selected system is
programmed for group scan (see page 25). The lockout status of all
systems and groups is maintained when power is turned off.
Scanning Multi-Net Systems
NOTE: For information on Multi-Net and conventional systems, refer to
page 29.
When Multi-Net systems are scanned, calls are received on all
selectable groups if Group Scan is programmed, and on only the last-
selected group if it is not programmed. Your transceiver may also be
programmed with fixed groups. Calls on these groups are normally
received regardless of system and group scanning.
Scanning Conventional Systems
Group scan is not available with conventional systems. Therefore,
calls are received on only the last-selected group of conventional
systems. For example, if Groups 1-4 are programmed in a conventional
systemandGroup2isthelastselectedordisplayedgroupinthatsystem,
Group 2 is the only group on which calls are received in that system.
If a group is programmed with Call Guard squelch, only messages
intended for you will be detected on that group while scanning. However,
if Call Guard squelch is not programmed or is disabled by the monitor
mode selected by the Auxiliary switch, any message occurring on that
group will be heard. Refer to “CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION”
on page 30 for more information.
