Scan Mode

(Glossary )

HGDefinition.jpg

When Scan Mode is engaged for the radio's current channel, the radio checks the channel's assigned Scan List for qualified transmissions; each Scan List Member is checked (one at a time) for qualified transmissions.

The Scan Type field determines the specific mode of operation for each Scan List. Scan mode is possible for both Conventional or Trunking communications.

Scan Mode is initiated automatically through Automatic Scan; or Scan Mode is radio-user initiated with a DotRed.png Scan button-press, DotRed.png Scan switch-toggle or DotRed.png Scan menu selection.
