Radio Wide Scan Lists
With radio wide scanning, up to 15 scan lists can be programmed. This list is user 
programmable, and can contain up to 16 channels of any type. For example, it could 
include six conventional channels and ten SmartNet/SmartZone channels. More 
information on selecting and editing radio wide scan lists follows.
The user may assign radio wide scanning on a per-channel basis. Each scan list can be 
selected as User Editable. With this option selected, the user can edit the active scan list 
only from their radio. The user can also select which scan list is active through a 
programmed function button or menu function selection. This active scan list is retained 
through power down.
4.11.5.2.1
Determining Channels in Radio Wide Scan List 
The channels in model radio wide scan lists are determined by selecting the scan list edit 
mode (see “Editing Radio Wide Scan List” which follows). When the displayed channel is 
in the radio wide scan list (scanned normally), the 
 icon is displayed.
The radio wide scan list status of Multi-Net channels is indicated only when the radio wide 
scan list edit mode is selected (see following). The scan list status is not indicated in other 
modes.

Editing a Radio Wide Scan List
If the RWS Edit option button or menu parameter is programmed, the radio wide scan list 
can be edited. Changes are permanent (cycling power does not reselect a default 
condition). Proceed as follows:
Make sure that both priority and radio wide scanning are off (
 icon not displayed). 
Select the scan edit mode using the RWS Edit option button or menu parameter. This 
mode is indicated by the 
 (Radio Wide Scan) and 
 (Edit) icons in the display.
Select the channel you want to add or delete by pressing the Up/Down buttons. After 
the last channel in the current zone is displayed, the first valid channel in the next zone 
is displayed and vice versa. The list is limited to 16 channels. If an attempt is made to 
add more than 16, “List Full” is displayed and a channel must be deleted before another 
can be added.
If the selected channel is in the scan list (scanned), the   icon is displayed. To change 
the status of the displayed channel, press the <F2> (Enter) button.
To exit this mode and save the changes, press the <F1> (Exit) button or the RWS Edit 
option button again.
