activated banks. (See “Locking Out Channels” on Page XX and “Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off”
on Page XX). When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on it. When the transmission ends,
the scanner resumes scanning.
Notes:
• If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak transmissions,
turn
SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals.
To listen to a weak or distant station, turn
SQUELCH counterclockwise.
•To ensure proper scanning, adjust SQUELCH until the audio mutes.
• To scan in the trunk scanning mode, see “Trunking Operation” on Page XX.
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency
broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details —even though there might be periods of silence —
or if you want to monitor a specific channel.
Press E/PGM to put the scanner in programming mode. PGM appears.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you want to listen to, press HOLD/RESUME. Press
HOLD/RESUME to resume automatic scanning.
Special Features
DELAY
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific
channel, the scanner automatically program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. You can monitor
the channel frequency for an additional 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or
searching.
Depending on how the scanner is operating, follow one of these steps to program a delay.
To turn off the 2-second delay, press
/CLR /DELAY while the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning,
or searching.
DLY disappears.
• To turn on the 2-second delay to a channel again, select the channel and press
/CLR /DELAY. DLY
appears.
• To turn on the 2-second delay to search again, press
/CLR /DELAY while the scanner is searching.
DLY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every frequency it stops on in
that band.
Signal Stalker also has a delay feature. It's delay time is 10 seconds. See page XX how to program Signal
Stalker Delay.
