Scan type
The transceiver has 2 scan types: Normal scan and Priority
scan. Normal scan searches all TAG channels in the selected
channel group. Priority scan searches all TAG channels in se-
quence while monitoring Channel 16.
D
Scan resume timer
The scan resume timer can be selected as a pause (OFF) or
timer scan (ON). When OFF is selected, the scan pauses
until the signal disappears. When ON is selected, the scan
pauses 5 sec. and resumes even if a signal has been re-
ceived on any other channel than Channel 16.
D
Weather alert
A NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone be-
fore important weather information. When the weather alert
function is turned ON, the transceiver detects the alert, then
the “WX ALT” indicator blinks until the transceiver is operated.
The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked
any time while scanning.
• “WX ALT” appears instead of “WX” indication when the function is
set ON.
