Zeromatic On or Off When on, enhances the
scanner’s ability to lock on to
the actual center frequency of
a search hit instead of an adja-
cent frequency.
Special On or Off STLK works by quickly sweep-
ing the RF spectrum in 1 MHz
increments to find nearby
strong signals. If the 1 MHz
sweep indicates that activity
is present in the 1 MHz range,
STLK sweeps that range to find
the source.

Increments each time a trans-
mission is received on the STLK
object. Global “Hit Counts”
must be set to ON. Press the
Dflt softkey to reset to 0.
Appendix C: Text Entry and QuickText
Your scanner uses a simple text entry method
that allows entry of all uppercase and lowercase
letters of the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation
symbols. Your scanner also features QuickText,
which allows you to store up to 10 commonly
used text items for instant recall while editing
alphanumeric fields.
Text Entry
To enter a letter in an alphanumeric text field,
press the number key below the letter you wish
to type first, then press the number key that
corresponds with the position of the letter in the
silk screen group.
For example, the number 2 is used to access the
letters A, B and C. To type the letter A, press 2
to select the ABC group, then 1 to select the first
letter in the group. Likewise, to type the letter
B, press 2 to select the ABC group, then press
2 again to select the second letter in the group.
And, to type the letter C, press 2, then 3 to select
the third letter in the group.
• To enter numbers in alphanumeric text fields,

the first set of punctuation, then press the
number key that corresponds with the
position of the desired punctuation mark in
the set.
