Once the receive signal ends, the radio may be programmed to
wait a period of time before resuming scan. When the scan hang
timer has expired, scanning will resume. This scan hang timer
will also be started whenever the radio has ceased transmitting
on a channel. Your dealer or communications coordinator will
customize the scan options for your particular situation; the
following paragraphs detail the available options.
Busy Channel Scan
If no priority channel has been assigned by your dealer or
communications coordinator, all channels in your scan list will be
checked for activity, with no preference given to any channel. If
activity is detected on a channel the radio will stop on that
channel. While the radio is stopped on a channel it may be
deleted from the scan list by pressing a programmed scan skip
function button. When the radio is turned off, all channels
removed from the scan list using nuisance channel delete will be
restored.
Priority Channel Scan
If a priority channel (or two) has been assigned by your dealer or
communications coordinator, the priority channel will be checked
more often than the other channels in the scan list. If activity is
detected on a channel the radio will stop on that channel. While
stopped on a non-priority channel, the radio may be programmed
to check for activity on the priority channel. This may be referred
to as priority channel lookback, and the receive audio from the
non-priority channel will be briefly interrupted while priority
lookback occurs. While the radio is stopped on a non-priority
channel it may be deleted from the scan list by pressing a
programmed scan skip function button. This function may be
referred to as nuisance channel delete. The priority channel can
not be deleted from the scan list. When the radio is turned off, all
channels removed from the scan list using nuisance channel
delete will be restored.
