Realistic PRO-37 - Moving a Frequency from Monitor Memory to a Channel; Scanning the Channels; Using the Delay Feature; Locking out Channels

MOVING A FREQUENCY FROM MONITOR MEMORY
TO A
CHANNEL
To move
a
frequency from
a
monitor
memory
to a
channel memory, follow
these steps.
SGANNING
THE
CHANNELS
To begin scanning,
press
SCAN.
The
scanner scans through all
non-locked
channels
in
the activated banks.
You
must
set
SOUELCH
so that
you
do
not
hear
the
hissing
sound between
transmissions.
Be
sure to
read
the
fol-
lowing
sections to
get
the
full
benefit
from
all of
your
scanner's special
fea-
tures.

Using
the
Delay Feature
Many
agencies use a
two-way
radio
system
that
might have
a
period
of
several
seconds between a
query
and
a
reply.
To keep from missing
a
reply,
program
a delay
on the channels
you
identify
as operating this
way.
To
program
a delay, select the chan-
nel
and
press
DELAY
so that
DLY
ap-
pears
on the display.
Now, when
your
scanner
pauses
at an active channel
when
scanning,
it waits for 2
seconds
after the
completion of each transmis-
sion on that channel before it resu-
mes
scanning.
Some
radio
systems,
notably
those
above 800
MHz,
use a special
trunked system.
ln
these systems, the
transmitter selects an available
fre-
quency
each time the operator keys
the
radio. lt is
therefore
possible
that
the
query
can be
on one
frequency
and
the
reply
on another.
To have the
best
possibility
of
hearing
the
full
reply,
you
want
the scanner to begin
scanning
immediately when
the
first
transmission ends.
ln
this case,
man-
ually select the channel
and
ensure
that
DLY is not in
the display.
lf it is,
press
DELAY
to turn off this
feature for
that
channel.
Setting the Scanning Speed
The
scanner
has
two different scan-
ning
speeds-B channels/second
and
25 channels/second. To
switch
between the two scanning
speeds,
press
SPEED
during scanning.
Locking
Out Channels
You
can
increase
the effective scan-
ning
speed by
locking
out channels
that
you
have not
programmed.
Man-
ually select
the channel
and
press
L/OUT
so that
UO
appears on the dis-
play.
This is
also
handy for locking
out
channels that
have
a continuous
transmission.
You
can still manually
select locked-out channels.
To
unlock
a channel,
manually
select
the channel and
press
L/OUT
so that
L/O
disappears
from
the display.
Note: There must
be at
least
one ac-
tive channel
in
each bank.
You
cannot
lockout
all
channels.
Turning Banks
On and Off
As
explained
in
"Understanding
Channel Storage
Banks"
the
scanner
splits the
200
channels into ten banks
of
20 channels each. The
small
bars
under
the numbers
at the top of the
display are the bank indicators.
You
can turn each bank on and off.
When
you
turn off a bank, the scan-
ner does not
scan any
channel
in
the
bank.
While
scanning,
press
the
num-
ber
key
corresponding to the bank
you
want
to turn on or
off. lf the mem-
ory bank
indicator is
on, the bank
is
turned on and the scanner scans all
channels
within
that
bank
that are
not
locked
out.
lf the
indicator
is
off, the
scanner
does
not
scan any of the
channels
within that bank.
