Abstract
A communication device ( ) comprising a receiver ( ) for receiving coded messages transmitted on one or more channels. There is a micro-processor ( ), in communication with the receiver ( ) and a frequency synthesizer ( ) coupled to both the micro-processor ( ) and the receiver ( ) to thereby control reception of the channels. The communication device ( ) also has a memory ( ) storing a group of-channel frequencies, wherein the micro-processor ( ) is adapted, in combination with the frequency synthesizer ( ), to control the receiver ( ) to scan at least some of the channels during baud detect periods of a protocol cycle associated with at least one of the channels. Further, the micro-processor ( ) cyclically offsets a start of the baud detect periods after completion of a protocol cycle.
