4.13.1 Priority Mode Scan Lists
A scan list is simply the channels that are scanned when scanning is enabled. With all
operating modes, as many priority scan lists as are required can usually be programmed
(up to 255). The only limitation is the available memory. Each list can include up to 255
channels/talkgroups. More information follows on selecting and editing priority scan lists.
Note
The selected channel is always scanned.
