Band Scope mode
Band Scope mode is a special type of Search mode where the scanner displays the strength of any signal it
finds.
● In a band scope search, the scanner starts at the lowest frequency in the range and moves up the search
range.
● In Max Hold Search mode, the scanner displays the strongest signal that it found.
● If you manually set the mode to NFM or FM, the scanner will not reliably detect signals that are
modulated in either FMB or WFM.
To turn on Band Scope mode:
Band Scope mode is the default setting for Search Key 3. To turn on Band Scope mode, enter Hold or Search
mode, then tap FUNCTION + 3 (SR3) . (To change the Search Key assignment, see
Programming Search
Keys.)
