SCAN OPERATION5■ Scan typesScanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over awide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan andnormal scan.When the weather alert function is in use, the selectedweather channel is checked while scanning. (p. 20)PRIORITY SCANSet the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning.Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning,such as digital communication use.Choose priority or normal scan in set mode. (p. 20)NORMAL SCANCH 01CH 02CH 01 CH 02CH 06CH 16CH 03CH 06CH 03CH 05 CH 04CH 05 CH 04Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequencewhile monitoring Ch 16. When a signal is detectedon Ch 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when asignal is detected on a channel other than Ch 16, scan becomesdualwatch until the signal disappears.Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tagchannels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Ch 16is not checked unless Ch 16 is set as a tag channel.10
