115SCAN OPERATIONn Scan typesScanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over awide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan anda normal scan.In addition, weather alert functions are available for standbyconvenience. (p. 13)Set the tag channels (channels to be scanned) before scan-ning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scan-ning, such as those used for digital communications.NOTE: Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 14)PRIORITY SCANPriority scan searches through all tag channels in se-quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de-tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signaldisappears; when a signal is detected on a channel otherthan Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signaldisappears.WX*CH 01CH 16CH 02CH 05 CH 04CH 03* Previously selected weather channelwhen weather alert function is ON.NORMAL SCANNormal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tagchannels in sequence.
