Channel scan allows you to monitor 14 channels and a selected
group code. When the unit detects channel activity on your selected
code, it stops scanning and locks in on the busy channel. You can
listen and talk back (within 5 seconds of the end of a transmission)
on the displayed channel without having to change your settings.
