You cannot use scan in conjunction withthe tone alert function and paging. Scanning occurs separately in the VHF and UHF bands. You can reverse thedirection by turning the Tuning control or MESSAGE key.1 Hold/Resume ProgrammingThis transceiver provides two types of scan hold/ resume:• Time Operated ScanThe transceiver stops scanning on a busy channel, remains there for approximately 5 seconds, and thencontinues to scan even if the signal is still present.• Carrier Operated ScanThe transceiver stops scanning on a busy channel and remains there until the signal drops out. It allows a 2second delay before resuming scanning to prevent losing the station when operators change.In CTCSS operation, scan will stop only on signals that contain the proper CTCSS code.In DTSS operation, scan will stop (without squelch turned off) whenever it receives a signal. However, squelchwill not open until the proper DTSS signal is received.
