Automatic (default) 2. Home Area 3. Semi Auto A 4. Semi Auto B ER search sequence is as follows: 1st Home side digital 2 Home side analog 3 Non home side digital 4 Non home side analog Home side could be A or B. If your home sid in the sid/nid list is odd, then you are on the A side. If even, then you are on the B side. There are 4 types of lists. 1. Home SID/NID list 20 2. Preferrered SID/NID list 80 3. Negative SID/NID list (also known as the forbidden sid/nid list) 5 4. Available system SID/NID (All the rest of the SID/NID that are not listed in the above 3 lists are considered as Available system SID/NID list) Home SID/NID list has higher priority over Preferred and we never go to negative list. Semi Auto A is the same as AUTOMATIC except when we are given avaible system, we will choose the A side, never the B side. For example. Your phone is programmed sid 4 on the 1st of the home sid/nid list. You are on B side Home. Let's say you move over to a new location and the ER searched a couple of sids 10, 1, 15, 27. In your home sid/nid list there is 10. And now your phone is using Automatic, Sid 10 would be used because you are on the B side. Priority for Automatic is from home, preferred, then aavailable system.
