Delay

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of
several seconds between a query and a reply.  Your scanner's delay feature
causes it to wait for 2 seconds after each transmission on a channel
before it resumes scanning or searching.

To program a 2 second delay for a channel you select, manually select the
channel then press DELAY until DLY appears.

To program a 2 second delay for a channel while scanning, quickly press
DELAY when the channel appears on the display. DLY appears.

To turn off delay on any active channel, press DELAY when the channel
appears on the display.  DLY disappears.

Skipping Frequencies/Channels

You can scan channels and search for frequencies faster by skipping ones
that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.  You can
skip up to 20 frequencies during a band, direct, or service bank search,
and you can skip all channels.

To skip a channel/frequency while scanning or searching, press L/OUT/S/S
when the scanner stops on it.

Removing Skip from Frequencies

To remove the skip from a frequency while searching, press 91-100/0 to
stop the search, press /\ or \/ to select the skipped frequency, then
press L/OUT/S/S until L/O disappears from the display.  To remove the skip
from all frequencies at once while searching, press and hold down
L/OUT/S/S until the scanner beeps twice.

Notes:  If you skip more than 20 frequencies, each new frequency replaces
        earlier ones, starting from the first stored frequency.

        You can manually select skipped frequencies after you press
        91/100/0 to stop a search.  The scanner displays L/O when you
        select a skipped frequency.

Removing Skip from Channels

To remove the skip from a channel while scanning, press MANUAL to stop the
scan, use the number keys to enter the channel number, then press
L/OUT/S/S until L/O disappears from the display.  To remove the skip from
all channels at once while scanning, select the banks containing the
locked channels, press MANUAL, then press and hold down L/OUT/S/S until
the scanner beeps twice.

Priority

The priority feature lets you scan through programmed channels and still
not miss important or interesting calls on specific channels.  You can
program one stored channel to each bank as a priority channel (up to 10
stored channels).  As the scanner scans each bank, it checks that bank's
priority channel every 2 seconds for activity.

Notes:  You cannot use the priority and data detection features at the
        same time (see "Detecting Data Signals" below).

        You can skip priority channels. If you skip all priority channels,
        the display shows P CH LOC OUt when you turn on the priority
        feature.  See "Skipping Frequencies/Channels" above.

        The priority feature must be turned off to listen to monitor
        memories.

The scanner automatically designates the first channel in each bank as
that bank's priority channel.

Follow these steps to program a different channel as the priority channel.

1.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to program as
    the priority channel, then press PRIORITY/H/S.  P appears on the
    display to the right of the channel number.

3.  Repeat Steps 1-2 for each channel you want to program in a bank as a
    priority channel.

4.  To confirm all priority channel numbers for all banks, press PROGRAM
    then repeatedly press PRIORITY/H/S.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY/H/S during scanning.  PRI
appears on the display and the scanner checks the priority channel in each
selected bank every 2 seconds.  It stays on the channel if there is
activity, and P appears on the display.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY/H/S.  PRI disappears from
the display.

Note:  If you are scanning more than one bank in which a priority channel
       has been programmed, the scanner stops on the lowest-numbered
       priority channel first while scanning.

Changing The Search Speed

You can adjust your scanner's search speed.  You can set the scanner to
search at either 100 steps per second (normal search speed) or 300 steps
per second (HyperSearch speed).

Note:  You can use the HyperSearch speed only in 5 kHz-step bands.  (See
       "Band Mode and Frequency Step" below).

To select the HyperSearch speed during a band or direct search, press
PRIORITY/H/S.  SRCH flashes on the display.

Detecting Data Signals

You can set the scanner to detect un-modulated carriers or data signals
(such as preamble signals for pagers) during scanning, band search, direct
search, or service bank search.

Note:  You cannot detect data signals in the air band (AM mode). See "Band
       Mode and Frequency Step" below.

To detect data signals, press and hold down DATA until DATA appears on the
display.  If the scanner pauses on a transmission and detects a data
signal, it resumes searching in 2 or 3 seconds.

To stop detecting data signals, press DATA until DATA disappears from the
display.

Note:  You cannot use DATA and PRIORITY at the same time. (See above.)

Listening To The Weather Band

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for
use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  NOAA
broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information.  We have
preprogrammed your scanner with seven of the U.S. frequencies available to
NOAA.

To scan the preprogrammed weather channels, press WX/E.  WX appears on the
display, and the scanner searches through the weather band and stops on an
active broadcast.  If a broadcast is weak, press WX/E again to continue to
search through the weather band.

Note:  For a list of all 11 national weather frequencies, see "National
       Weather Frequencies" in Faxback Doc. # 17653.

Band Mode and Frequency Step

The scanner scans in the following band modes:

   AM  (amplitude modulation) - used in aircraft bands.

   NFM (narrowband frequency modulation) - used in action bands such as
       police, fire, ambulance, Amateur Radio, etc.

This table shows the preset band modes and frequency steps your scanner
uses for each frequency range.

Freq. Range (MHz)                Band Mode                Freq. Step (kHz)

 29.000-54.000 ................. NFM ................................... 5

108.000-136.975 ................ AM ................................. 12.5

137.000-144.000 ................ NFM ................................... 5

144.000-148.000 ................ NFM ................................... 5

148.000-174.000 ................ NFM ................................... 5

406.000-450.000 ................ NFM ................................ 12.5

450.000-470.000 ................ NFM ................................ 12.5

470.000-512.000 ................ NFM ................................ 12.5

806.000-956.000 ................ NFM ................................ 12.5

Note:  The band modes and frequency steps are preset.  You cannot change
       them.
