SCAN OPERATION
Full/band/programmed scan
Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it
easier to locate new stations for listening purposes, etc.

edge. (p. 21)
A tone scan function is available to search for subaudible
tones (e.g. when you want to find a subaudible tone fre-
quency necessary to open a repeater or to open the tone
squelch). See p. 30 for details.
