Methods and apparatuses to reduce a time to scan one or more frequency channel bands by a wireless communication device are disclosed. The methods include performing, at the wireless communication device, a power scan of a band of radio frequencies; determining a maximum power level for a frequency channel in the band of radio frequencies found by the power scan; comparing the maximum power level to a threshold power level; in an instance in which the maximum power level does not equal or exceed the threshold power level, attempting acquisition on a first number of frequency channels; and in an instance in which the maximum power equals or exceeds the threshold power level, attempting acquisition on a second number of frequency channels. The second number of frequency channels is greater than the first number of frequency channels. |
