BASIC OPERATION

■

The transceiver has a high speed scan function for standing
by on utility signals. The scan speed is 8 channel/sec. (except
when the weather alert function is in use).

Two scan types are available:

normal scan (scans all tag

channels in sequence) and 

priority scan (checks channel 16

while scanning). These scans can be selected in SET mode
(p. 12).

You can specify channels as tag channels for efficient scan-
ning. Tag channels can be set for each channel group (USA,
CAN, INT) independently.
