Privacy Code (CTCSS/DCS) Scan and Decode
Privacy Code Scan is used to determine which Privacy Code is in
use on the current channel.
To activate the privacy code scan press the MODE button until the
privacy code number flashes, then press the SCAN button briefly.
The Scan icon will blink when the privacy code scan is active.
The radio will scan through the 50 CTCSS and 104 DCS codes. If
your radio detects a valid signal the scan will pause for 5 seconds.
If you press the PTT button when your radio detects a signal, the
radio will transmit on the same privacy code and the privacy code
will be automatically selected.
If you press the PTT button during scanning, the radio will return
to your original privacy code. Scanning will resume when the PTT
button is released.
To stop scanning, press the SCAN button again or press the
MODE button to step to the next menu setting.
To increase battery life use the scan modes sparingly.
