A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing the
key (Scan model) or the
key (System model) during scan operation while the radio is displaying the
unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if
done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered
OFF and then powered ON.

The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically
enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan

9.21.1 Wide Area System Scanning
The P7200 and P5200 series radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming
across mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be
programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is
found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.
9.21.2 Priority System Scan
The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or
preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically
leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a
programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control (unless the ProScan
algorithm
is enabled, as explained in the following sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT
button is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or meets the
predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system.
9.21.2.1 Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function
If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins to wide area system scan,
the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area
scan list.
9.21.2.2 When ProScan is Enabled
The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the criteria defined by the
controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will
