Scanning the Stored Channels
To begin scanning channels, press SCAN. The 
scanner scans through all non-locked channels in 
the activated banks. (See “Locking Out Channels” on 
Page 48 and “Turning Channel-Storage Banks On 
and Off” on Page 48). 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.
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.
