Scanning Stored Channels
Press SCAN/MAN to begin scanning your programmed frequencies. SCAN
scrolls across the display and the scanner scans through all non-locked
channels in the activated banks.
Select any combination of banks to scan by pressing the corresponding
number keys. The bank numbers appear at the top of the display. The bank
number which is currently being scanned blinks.
When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on it.
BANK0 23 5 789
DLY
When the transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning. If it is a long
transmission and you want to move on, press S to resume scanning. If you
press PSE when the scanner stops on a transmission, the scanner goes to
manual mode. Press PSE or SCAN/MAN to resume scanning.
Notes:
If you have not stored any frequencies into channels, the scanner does
not scan.
If the scanner picks up unwanted partial or 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 want to monitor a specific channel or if you hear an emergency broadcast and
do not want to miss any details, even though there might be periods of silence.
To directly access a channel:
1. Press SCAN/MAN to stop scanning.
2. Enter the bank and channel number and press SCAN/MAN. The
selected channel appears.
