Icom IC-M604A [20/68] Scan operation

SCAN OPERATION

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efﬁ cient way to locate signals quickly over a

wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and

Normal scan.

When the Weather alert function is turned ON, the previ-

ously selected (last used) weather channel is also checked

while scanning. (p. 48)

Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.

Clear the TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning,

such as those for digital communication use. (Refer to the

right page for details.)

Choose Priority or Normal scan in the Set mode. (p. 47)

NORMAL SCAN

Normal scan, like priority scan, sequentially searches

through all TAG channels. However, unlike priority scan,

Channel 16 is not checked unless it is set as a TAG chan-

nel.

PRIORITY SCAN

Priority scan sequentially searches through all TAG chan-

nels while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de-

tected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal

disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other

than Channel 16, the scan switches to Dualwatch until the

signal disappears.
