Realistic PRO-43 - Changing AM;FM Receive Mode; Programming a Scan Delay

CHANGING AM/FM MODE
We designed your scanner to automatically select the most
common receive mode for each frequency range. Default
settings are shown below.
FREQUENCY(MHz) RECEIVE MODE
30.000 — 54.000.FM
118.000—136.975 .AM
137.000 — 174.000.FM
220.000 — 225.000.FM
225.0125 — 400.000 ..AM
400.0125 — 512.000.FM
806.000 — 999.9875.FM
Although the preset mode is correct in most cases, some
ham radio and military aircraft (225 — 400 MHz) broadcasts
are not in the default mode. If you try to listen to a broadcast
when the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode, the
broadcast might sound weak or distorted.
To change the mode, press AM/FM. am or fm blinks on the
display when you override the default mode.
If you press AM/FM during a limit search or direct search, the
scanner no longer uses the receive mode defaults. The
scanner keeps searching for frequencies in the selected
mode and am or fm blinks on the display, am or fm blinks
even if the mode of a frequency is the same as the default
setting. To return to the default settings, press AM/FM while
holding down CLEAR.
PROGRAMMING A SCAN DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system with periods of
several seconds between each query and reply. To keep
from missing a reply, program a delay on the channels that
operate this way.
To program a delay, select the channel and press DELAY so
dly appears on the display. Now, when your scanner
pauses on that channel when scanning, it waits for 2 sec¬
onds after each transmission before it resumes scanning.
