Channels are selected uniformly and randomly among all channels available in the operating country, or all channels of the selected sub-band, using the system's random number generator. Previously detected unavailable channels are excluded from the selection.
This applies for channels selected after a radar event (channel switch), and the initial channel. The user may override the initial channel from within the user interface.
