12SCAN OPERATION5■ Scan typesScanning is an effi cient way to quickly locate signals over awide frequency range. The transceiver has a priority scansetting and normal scan setting.In addition, the “Weather alert” and “Auto scan” functionsare available for scanning. These functions can be activatedsimultaneously, depending on the settings on the SET mode.(pgs. 17, 18)Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning.Clear those tag channels which are not needed or inconven-iently stop scanning, such as digital communications.Choose priority or normal scan on the SET mode. (p. 17)PRIORITY SCANWX*CH 01CH 16CH 02CH 05 CH 04CH 03* Previously selected weather channelwhen weather alert function is ONPriority scan searches through all tag channels in sequencewhile monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected onChannel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; whena signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16,scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.NORMAL SCANCH 01 CH 02WX*CH 05 CH 04CH 03* Previously selected weather channelwhen weather alert function is ON.Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tagchannels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan,Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as atag channel.
