All channels where activity is present will beloaded into the Smart Search memories; whether or not all 31 memories arefilled, the search will stop after one sweep in each direction.CONT: In this mode, the transceiver will make one pass in each direction as with One-Shot searching; if all 31 channels are not filled after the first sweep, however, theradio will continue sweeping until they are all filled.Setting the Smart Search Mode1.
