SYSTEM AND GROUP SCANNING

Saving Scan List
If the menu mode SCN SAVE parameter is available, you can
select if scan list changes are saved. If “On” is selected, changes are
saved as they are made and the scan list is the same when power is
turned on. Conversely, if “Off” is selected, they are not saved and the
default scan list status of all systems and groups is reselected when
power is turned on. If the menu SCN SAVE parameter is not select-
able, the scan list save mode is fixed in one of these states.
Scan Delay and Continue Timers
When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there
is a short delay before scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a
call prevents another message from being received before a response
can be made. Likewise, the delay after transmitting a call ensures that
you hear a response to your call instead of another message occurring
on some other system or group. Scanning does not resume if it has
been disabled, such as by taking the microphone off-hook.
There is also a scan continue timer that may be programmed.
This timer controls the maximum time that a call is received before
scanning resumes. Times up to 60 seconds can be programmed. This
prevents scanning from being delayed for long periods by lengthy
calls. If the menu SCN CONT parameter is selectable (see page 33),
this feature can be turned on and off.
Transmitting In The Scan Mode
General
When the transmitter is keyed in the scan mode, programming
determines if the transmission occurs on the last selected or last
received system/group. The display usually indicates the system/
group on which a transmission would occur. The exceptions are
noted in the following information. The three programmable config-
urations are as follows.
