The "Scan" function is used to:

• A. Sequentially scan all or selected channels
• B. Continuously scan a single channel
• C. Filter out noise
• D. Store conversations for later review

Scanning lets you monitor multiple frequencies by cycling through a list of programmed channels, so you can hear activity on any of them without manually changing channels. As the radio moves from one channel to the next, it looks for transmissions and will pause on a channel when activity is detected, then resume scanning after the transmission ends. This is a practical way to stay aware of traffic on several channels at once. It isn’t about filtering out noise, storing conversations, or keeping a single channel continuously open.
