14SCAN OPERATION5 Scan typesScanning is an efficient way to quickly locate signals over awide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scan set-ting and normal scan setting.In addition, the “Weather alert” and “Auto scan” functions arealso available for scanning. These functions can be activatedsimultaneously, depending on the settings on the SET mode.(pgs. 18, 19)Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.Clear those TAG channels which are not needed or inconve-niently stop scanning, such as digital communications.Choose priority or normal scan on the SET mode. (p. 18)PRIORITY SCANPriority scan searches through all TAG channels in sequencewhile monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected onChannel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when asignal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scanbecomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.WX*CH 01CH 16CH 02CH 05 CH 04CH 03* Previously selected weather channelwhen weather alert function is ONNORMAL SCANNormal scan, like priority scan, searches through all TAGchannels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Chan-nel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a TAGchannel.CH 01 CH 02WX*CH 05 CH 04CH 03* Previously selected weather channelwhen weather alert function is ON.
