K2xxxxxxx PROGram Scan Quick Tune (Rcvr1),<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

K3xxxxxxx PROGram Scan Quick Tune (Rcvr2):<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This means that the radio expects abbreviated freq tunning (See<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

K2\/3xxxxxxxx) instructions from the s\/w<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to help speed up the scanning process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every tune message (K2\/3xxxxxxxx where Xs=HEX) must be followed by an<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

H897\/HC91 “execute” instruction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This allows the s\/w to set SQL\/DSP params prior to using the H9\/HC “execute”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

instruction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The radio will then tune to the freq and return H9\/C02, then H9\/C01. These<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

two response values back-to-<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

back mean that this freq did not contain a carrier, and is expecting the<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

next freq to be sent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If there was a carrier, then the normal Ixxx signal strength value would<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

have been returned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Scanning should stop at this point until carrrier is lost, then resume.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

** Expected responses are H9xx=Rcvr1 and HDxx=Rcvr2.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
