The BC278CLT scans programmed channels at rate of up to 25 channels per second until it
locates an active frequency. When the scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on
that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the
scanner stays on the channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If
no responding transmission is detected, the scanning cycle resumes until another
transmission is received (DELAY function).
