Scan; Revert Channel - Kenwood ProTalk NX-P500 User Manual

SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning,
the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is
present.
If the QT/ DQT/ or RAN matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens
the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/ DQT/ or RAN does not match,
the call is ignored and scanning continues.
Before using the scan function, ensure that it is activated. You can turn the scan
function (the ability to perform scan) ON or OFF in Setting mode.
SCAN OPERATION
Scan: Press the button programmed as [Scan] to start scanning the transceiver
channels.
Scan Delete/ Add: Adds or removes the selected Channel to or from the scan
sequence.
1
To begin scanning, press the button programmed as [Scan].
• The indicator appears on the display.
• The channels are scanned.
2
When the signal is detected and the QT/ DQT/ or RAN
matches, the channel number is appeared on the display
and the SCAN icon blinks.
3
When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits
for 3 seconds before scanning continues.
• If a new signal is received before the 3 seconds elapse,
the transceiver will remain on the channel until the new
signal is no longer present, at which time it will again
wait for 3 seconds before continuing.
4
To end the scan at any time, press the button programmed as [Scan].
• The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before you started
scanning.

REVERT CHANNEL

The revert channel is the channel from which you start scanning. For example, if
you are on channel 1 when you begin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1.
During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically select the transceiver's
revert channel (in the above example, channel 1) and you will begin transmitting.
However, if you are currently paused on another channel after having received a
signal (for example, channel 2), pressing the PTT switch will allow you to transmit
on that channel, rather than returning to the revert channel. Scanning will resume
after 3 seconds, unless a signal is present on the channel.
