The Scan option allows you to scan through the available 

channels for activity. As the unit scans and detects 

activity on a channel, it pauses on that channel/code for 

a few seconds, then continues scanning. If you transmit 

at that time you will be on that channel. When the Rino 

520/530 is scanning and it receives an incoming signal, 

the Rino 520/530 automatically decodes the Code used 

by the incoming signal. The Rino 520/530 then uses that 

Code when it transmits back to that unit. However, if you 

transmit when the scan has not paused, the transmission 

uses the channel set before scanning.
You may use the Set Scanlist option to pick which 

channels/codes to scan. Scanning through all channels 

can take time: Selecting only specific channels/codes 

decreases the scan time and helps prevent the chances 

of missing a transmission. The Scanlist also has Option 

Menu choices to Scan Current Codes or Scan All Codes. 

Choosing Scan Current Codes scans only the Channel and  

Code combination in memory.

The Monitor option lets you listen to a single channel for 

all activity, including static and weak signals. The Rino 

requires the user to adjust the squelch for a frequency 

to filter out unwanted noise. Using the Monitor option 

temporarily turns off the squelch, allowing you to hear 

the open channel. If you see an “Activity...” message, 

there is activity on your selected channel, but the 

incoming signal does not match the Code your unit is 

using. You may choose to monitor a channel if you want 

to hear all the activity on a channel.
