4. Scan Operation

4.1 Scan Types

Scanning is an efﬁcient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and Normal scan.

When the Weather alert function is in use, the selected weather channel is checked while scanning. (p. 38)

Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communication use.

Note: Choose Priority or Normal scan in Set mode. (p. 38)

NORMAL SCAN

Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all tag channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a tag channel.

PRIORITY SCAN

Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears.

(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE

A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio is not required for safety purposes.

The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.

However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and makes the necessary log entries.

Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations handy.

Radio license for boaters (U.S.A. only)

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 permits recreational boaters to have and use a VHF marine radio, EPIRB, and marine radar without having an FCC ship station license. Boaters traveling on international voyages, having an HF single sideband radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal, or required to carry a marine radio under any other regulation must still carry an FCC ship station license. For further information, see the FCC Ship Radio Stations Fact Sheet.
