Caution: If you press the wrong key when you press the power key to set your
startup conguration, and that wrong key doesn’t have any systems assigned to that
key, the scanner will lock out all systems that have startup keys.
SCANNING SYSTEMS
With earlier scanners, you selected banks to scan that had channels stored in them.
With this scanner, you select ‘System Quick Keys’ to scan that have ‘Systems’,
‘Sites’, or Custom/Service Searches assigned to them. So, now you turn ‘System/
Site/Search Quick Keys’ on and off and ‘Group Quick Keys’ on and off (within each
‘System’ or ‘Site’). Turning quick keys on and off for systems/groups/sites/searches is
not the same as locking and unlocking systems/sites/searches. You can still do that
separately (if you really want to confuse yourself). See also Using Quick Keys.
First, all (unlocked) systems/sites belonging to Quick Key 1 are scanned. Then
systems/sites that belong to Quick Key 2,…,9,0,11,…19,10,21,……,99,90 are
scanned in order. Systems/sites with the same quick key are scanned in order of
creation. Systems/sites with no quick key are scanned last and in order of creation
(including created ‘Quick Save’ systems).
Groups within the systems/sites are scanned with the same rules.
Conventional channels within the groups are scanned in order of creation.
IDs are not really scanned. The scanner checks for any activity in the trunking
system by monitoring the control channel and and, if any ID becomes active, the
scanner displays it in ‘ID Search’ mode. In ‘ID Scan’ mode, the scanner only display
IDs programmed in to groups.
Then the scanner starts any (unlocked/enabled) service searches, searching them in
the menu order. Then any (unlocked/enabled) custom searches from 1 to 10 in turn.
Then the scanner scans the system called ‘Close Call’. This system is created if
you do a Close Call ‘Auto Store’. If the ‘Close Call’ system has no frequencies, the
scanner does not scan the system.
Then the scanner scans the ‘Close Call Hits’ system (if you have unlocked it; locked
out by default). This is a system that automatically stores the frequencies found by
Close Call. If the ‘Close Call Hits’ system has no frequencies, the scanner does not
scan the system.
Then the scanner starts all over.
Press Scan/Srch. The scanner scans a system for the duration you set using the
‘system hold time’ option. For trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next
system after the hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and the channel
delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all (unlocked) channels
are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.
