How to set RT73 scan function

Do you know why does a mobile car radio need to have scan function? I think the answer is that the scan function can reduces driver distraction.When you drive more than 50–100 miles away from your home city, the signals from all those stations get so weak that you can no longer hear the content reliably, and then the signals completely disappear and you just get static. The scan function can help you to find another available repeater with medium-strong signals.

RT73 is a mini mobile radio, it is very suitable to install in your car. It is not only have scan function, but also roaming.
