Scanning Overview
The BC244CLT has 30 memory channels; each can be programmed to store 1
frequency within the band of frequency coverage. (For a listing of frequency
ranges and bands, see Technical Specifications on page.)
When you press
SCAN
, the BC244CLT scans each programmed frequency for
activity (skipping channels that are locked out) at the rate of about 15 channels
per second. As the unit scans, the word
SCAN
moves across the LCD display.
When the scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as
long as the transmission continues.
